Objectives:
To follow adolescent suicide attempters attending an emergency room in southern Israel through their induction examination for military service and then for the duration of this service.
Methods:
117 attempters were evaluated after a suicide attempt, and then followed up for up to five years. Outcome was assessed by their achievements on pre-induction psychometric and psychological testing at the induction center and by the quality of their service. Repeated suicidal behavior was also assessed.
Results:
In general boys had a worse prognosis than girls and suicidal behavior associated with poor educational achievements was particularly associated with a poor psychosocial outcome.
Conclusions:
Adolescent suicidal behavior in general has a good prognosis but boys with educational difficulties who attempt suicide are at great risk for adjustment problems.
