Abstract:
Decision-making deficits have been associated with attempted suicide in adolescents and adults. This study examined Iowa Gambling Task performance in 19 youths with suicidal ideation and 19 never-suicidal comparison subjects. Group differences in decision-making did not persist after controlling for current affective problems and psychotropic medication use. Future research should determine the contribution of decision-making in predicting the transition from suicidal thoughts to suicide attempts.
