  • Understanding risk factors for suicidal behavior in youth is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between panic attacks and suicide attempts.
  • To examine this relationship in a community-based sample of 13-14-year-old adolescents.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of 1,580 students in an urban public school system.
  • Logistic regression analysis to assess associations between panic attacks and suicidal ideation/attempts.

Main Results:

  • Adolescents with panic attacks were 3x more likely to report suicidal ideation.
  • Adolescents with panic attacks were 2x more likely to have made suicide attempts.
  • Associations remained significant after controlling for demographic factors, depression, and substance use.

Conclusions:

  • Epidemiologic research confirms an association between panic attacks and suicide attempts.
  • Panic attacks are a potential indicator of increased suicide risk in mid-adolescence.
  • Further research and intervention strategies targeting panic attacks in adolescents are warranted.
