Rates of adolescent suicide have increased significantly in the last five decades as have rates of adolescent substance abuse. However, the relationship between substance abuse and adolescent suicide is unclear. To better understand this relationship, a literature review that focused on the role of substance abuse in adolescent suicide was performed. The results of this review are discussed in this article. The most important risk factors for completed and attempted suicide are mental disorders (mood disorders and disruptive behavior disorders) and substance abuse [Brent, 1995: Suicide Life-Threatening Behav 25:52-63]. Furthermore, family history, social factors, and the presence of firearms in the home may contribute significantly to the risk for suicide. More research is needed in this area particularly with regard to cultural issues, substance abuse, and suicide.
在过去的五十年里，青少年自杀率显著上升，青少年药物滥用率也同样如此。然而，药物滥用与青少年自杀之间的关系尚不清楚。为了更好地理解这种关系，我们进行了一项聚焦于药物滥用在青少年自杀中所起作用的文献综述。本文将讨论这项综述的结果。已完成自杀和自杀未遂的最重要风险因素是精神障碍（情绪障碍和破坏性行为障碍）以及药物滥用[布伦特，1995年：《危及生命的自杀行为》25:52 - 63]。此外，家族病史、社会因素以及家中有枪支可能会显著增加自杀风险。这一领域需要更多研究，特别是在文化问题、药物滥用和自杀方面。
