Worse Prognosis

Objectives:To follow adolescent suicide attempters attending an emergency room in southern Israel through their induction examination for military service and then for the duration of this service.Methods:117 attempters were evaluated after a suicide attempt, and then followed up for up to five years. Outcome was assessed by their achievements on pre-induction psychometric and psychological testing at the induction center and by the quality of their service. Repeated suicidal behavior was also assessed.Results:In general boys had a worse prognosis than girls and suicidal behavior associated with poor educational achievements was particularly associated with a poor psychosocial outcome.Conclusions:Adolescent suicidal behavior in general has a good prognosis but boys with educational difficulties who attempt suicide are at great risk for adjustment problems.

Adolescent Suicide Attempters

Objectives: To compare the use of a self-report form of impulsivity versus a computerized test of impulsivity in the assessment of suicidal adolescent psychiatric inpatients. Methods: Sixty consecutive admissions to an adolescent in patient unit were examined. The severity of suicidal behavior was measured with the Childhood Suicide Potential Scale (CSPS), and impulse control was measured with the self report Plutchik Impulse Control Scale (ICS) and with the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA), a continuous performance test (CPT). The TOVA is used to diagnose adolescents with attention deficit disorder. Results: There was a significant but low correlation between the two measures of impulsivity. Only the TOVA commission and omission errors differentiated between adolescent suicide attempters and nonattempters. Conclusions: Computerized measures of impulsivity may be a useful way to measure impulsivity in adolescent suicide attempters. Impulsivity appears to play a small role only in nondepressed suicidal adolescents, especially boys.
