Suicidal ideation and behaviors within the school context: Perceived teacher, peer and parental support

Fatal suicidal behaviors are still the second leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2013). Systematic reviews suggest that approximately 10% of adolescents report at least one suicide attempt across life, and almost 30% report thinking about death by suicide at some point (Evans et al., 2005; May and Klonsky, 2011). Suicide ideation significantly predicts suicide attempts (Klonsky et al., 2016; Musci et al., 2016), and therefore, a prolific line of research has focused on risk factors for suicidal ideation and behaviors.
