The purpose of this study was to examine the association between adolescent suicide attempts and temporal cycles in a multiethnic population. Medical records at two hospitals in the state of Hawaii were reviewed for all adolescents (ages 12-18) admitted for suicide attempts during the years 1987-1991. Results showed 296 adolescents attempted suicide, and as hypothesized, temporal factors were associated with the attempts. A significant increase in attempts was found during the afternoon/evening and on Mondays and Tuesdays, transition points between home and school. The results are discussed and implications for delivery and temporal theory development considered.
本研究的目的是在一个多民族人群中检验青少年自杀未遂与时间周期之间的关联。对夏威夷州两家医院1987年至1991年期间因自杀未遂入院的所有青少年（12至18岁）的病历进行了回顾。结果显示，有296名青少年自杀未遂，正如所假设的那样，时间因素与自杀未遂有关。在下午/晚上以及周一和周二（家庭和学校的过渡点），自杀未遂事件显著增加。对研究结果进行了讨论，并考虑了其对治疗和时间理论发展的影响。
