Background: This study aims to identify the main predictive factors that allow for the recognition of adolescents with a higher risk of re-attempting suicide. Method: A longitudinal 12-month follow-up design was carried out in a sample of 533 Spanish adolescents between 12 and 17 years old. The data collection period comprised September 2013 to November 2016, including a one-year follow-up after hospital discharge. Results: A statistically significant regression model was obtained to predict suicide re-attempt at 12-months' follow-up (χ 2 = 34. 843; p < 0. 001; Nagelkerke R 2 = 0. 105), including personal history of self-injury (OR = 2. 721, p < 0. 001, 95% CI [1. 706, 4. 340]) and age (OR = 0. 541, p = 0. 009, 95% CI [0. 340, 0. 860]), correctly classifying 82. 6% of the sample. Our results show that having a personal history of self-injury and being younger than 14 years old were predictors of suicide re-attempt during the first year after an adolescent's first admission to emergency services. Conclusions: Considering these factors could contribute to the design of more tailored and effective interventions to prevent suicidal behavior in adolescents at high risk of re-attempting suicide. |
