The prevalence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors increases dramatically across the transition to puberty, particularly among adolescent girls. Yet we know little about why adolescent girls are at heightened risk, or when girls may be most likely to consider or engage in suicidal behavior. In this article, we outline evidence supporting a role for the menstrual cycle in the onset of and fluctuations in adolescent girls' suicide risk. This emerging framework outlines developmental (i.e., biological, social, and cognitive) characteristics that might place certain girls at higher risk (e.g., between-subjects factors), as well as potential mechanisms that occur during the perimenstrual phase of the menstrual cycle (i.e., within-subjects factors) that increase adolescent females' increased risk for suicide.
在向青春期过渡的过程中，自杀念头和行为的发生率急剧上升，尤其是在少女当中。然而，我们对少女为何面临更高风险，或者女孩何时最有可能考虑或实施自杀行为知之甚少。在本文中，我们概述了支持月经周期在少女自杀风险的发生和波动中起作用的证据。这个新出现的框架概述了可能使某些女孩面临更高风险的发育（即生物学、社会和认知）特征（例如，个体间因素），以及在月经周期的围经期阶段发生的可能增加青春期女性自杀风险的潜在机制（即个体内因素）。
