Emotion regulation difficulties, youth–adult relationships, and suicide attempts among high school students in underserved communities.

- Adolescence can be a particularly risky developmental period, especially for mental health problems and suicidal ideation. The impact of emotion regulation difficulties and trusting youth-adult relationships on past year suicide attempts was examined in a sample of high school students. Trusted adult relationships protected adolescents against suicide attempts, while emotion regulation difficulties and the absence of trusting adult relationships were predictive of past-year suicide attempts.
