Abstract

Suicide remains a leading cause of death for youth and yet little is known about how suicide risk changes over the course of emerging adulthood. Identifying risk factors that predict the maintenance of suicide risk as well as protective factors that predict decreasing risk in a nationally representative sample will allow for targeted interventions that can decrease fatal and nonfatal self-directed injuries.
