Sujet
Enquête sur
39,542 adolescents français âgés de 17 ans à l'aide d'un questionnaire
auto-administré. Les participants ont été tirées lors d'une vaste enquête sur
population générale d'adolescents menée par le Centre de l'Observatoire
français des drogues et des toxicomanies et le département du Service national.
Les participants ont été interrogés au cours de la "session de journée
d'information civique et militaire"
Highlights
We surveyed
39,542 adolescents aged 17 using a self-administered questionnaire.
We first
examined factors associated with lifetime Suicide Attempts (SA).
Among SA, we
then examined factors associated with hospitalization.
Family,
school situation, substance use and body image were associated with SA.
Family,
school situation and substance use were associated with hospitalization.
Abstract
Background
The high
frequency of suicide attempts during adolescence is a serious public health
concern. In particular attempts leading to hospitalization, often due to their
severity, require careful consideration.
Methods
Participants
were drawn from a large adolescent general population survey conducted by the
French Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction and the National Service
department. The final sample included 39,542 adolescents aged 17. Participants
were surveyed during the “one-day session of civic and military information”
using a pen and paper self-administered questionnaire.
Results
Depressive
symptoms, family socio-economic status, familial situation, relationship with
parents, school situation, substance use and body image were significant
independent predictors of lifetime suicide attempts. Among suicide attempts,
hospitalization was independently predicted by daily smoking in both genders,
school dropout, grade repetition, absence of relationship with the mother,
regular cannabis smoking and lifetime other illicit drug use in girls.
Limitations
The main
limitation of the present study is the absence of a thorough assessment of
psychiatric disorders, depressive symptomatology being the only indicator of
mental health status at the time of the survey. Second, the survey was
cross-sectional thus limiting the interpretation of the findings.
Conclusions
The
variables associated with suicide attempts and among them, those associated
with hospitalization should be used to identify and provide additional services
to adolescents at risk for serious suicidal behavior. Primary prevention in the
field of parenting and family support, as well as intervention tackling
normative beliefs related to body image should be considered.
