The correlates and predictors of suicidal behaviors among 900 young offenders in detention centers in South Australia are investigated. That young offenders are a high-risk population is confirmed, with a quarter of the youths reporting recent suicidal ideation and more than a quarter reporting having made a suicide attempt. Past suicide attempts are significantly predictive of future suicide attempts. Other variables both concurrently and prospectively associated with suicidal behaviors (even after controlling for prior suicide attempt status) are substance use, prolonged dysphoric mood, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder signs, and having a bad temper. These variables not only have predictive value but should also be considered as appropriate targets when intervening to reduce suicide risk. It is suggested that impulsiveness is an underlying common factor.
对南澳大利亚拘留中心的900名青少年罪犯自杀行为的相关因素和预测指标进行了调查。青少年罪犯是高危人群这一点得到了证实，四分之一的青少年报告近期有自杀意念，超过四分之一的青少年报告曾有过自杀未遂行为。过去的自杀未遂行为能显著预测未来的自杀未遂行为。与自杀行为同时且前瞻性相关的其他变量（即使在控制了既往自杀未遂状况之后）包括物质使用、长期烦躁情绪、注意力缺陷多动障碍症状以及脾气暴躁。这些变量不仅具有预测价值，在干预以降低自杀风险时也应被视为合适的干预目标。研究表明冲动性是一个潜在的共同因素。
