The study uses data as well as factor analysis and multiple regression results from a previously published study. The logistic regression results reveal significant gender differences in that the demonstration of more aggressive behaviors increased the likelihood of males reporting suicidal behavior. Risk factors for suicidal behavior among the males studied included, in descending order of probability: forcible sex, school misconduct, unfair/strict rules, home environment, over-the-counter drug use, and academic difficulties. For females, risk factors included, again in descending order of probability: over-the-counter drug use, cigarette use, forcible sex, unfair/strict rules, school misconduct, home environment, and miscommunication with parents. The article suggests that further research is necessary to fully understand risk behaviors related to adolescent suicidal behavior and any related gender differences. Table, references
