| Popis: | OBJECTIVE: This study examined the relationship between adolescents’ beliefs about the prevalence of youth suicidal ideation (ideation descriptive norms) and suicide attempts (attempt descriptive norms) with self-reported suicidal ideation and attempts. METHODS: Descriptive norms, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts, as well as, gender, race/ethnicity, and exposure to family, peer, and others’ suicide were assessed in 2,109 students at six suburban New York State high schools. RESULTS: After controlling for demographic variables and exposure to suicide, elevated ideation descriptive norms and attempt descriptive norms were associated with higher rates of suicidal ideation and lifetime suicide attemtps among adolescents. CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents who believed suicidal ideation and attempts to be more widespread among peers (i.e., elevated ideation and attempt descriptive norms) were more likely to endorse suicidal ideation and attempts. Correcting these descriptive norms may be a worthwhile goal for school-based suicide prevention programs. |
