Abstract:
The effects of admission status, prior abuse, and the frequency and duration of both physical and sexual abuse on measures of suicidality for a sample of 117 hospitalized adolescents were investigated. Having been abused was found to have a significant association with the number of previous suicide attempts and to interact with the variable of admission status in measures of suicide ideation.
