Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Suicidal behaviors seriously alter the vital and functional prognosis of adolescents. Although the literature has lighted out a considerable number of risk factors for suicide attempts in youth, theoretical models - among which bio-psycho-social models - still lack empirical evidence. More specifically, the way adverse life events dynamically interact together and with the individual's diathesis to precipitate suicidal attempts remains unclear. Studies of life trajectories have opened an alternative approach to traditional linear epidemiological analysis to capture such a complex process. To date, adverse trajectories approaches never have been applied to the period immediately preceding the occurrence of the suicidal gesture (proximal adverse trajectories).
