Short ‐term change and prediction of suicidal ideation among adolescents: a daily diary study following psychiatric hospitalization

ConclusionsThis study adds to emerging literature indicating that suicidal thoughts fluctuate considerably among individuals at risk for suicide, further extending it by focusing on adolescents in the critical posthospitalization period. Fostering high ‐risk adolescents’ sense of connectedness to others may be an especially promising intervention target. Frequent assessment of SI and its predictors, independently and in combination, could help identify promising predictors of short‐term risk and meaningful intervention targets in high‐risk teens.
