Abstract:
Introduction: Suicidal behavior in teenagers constitutes a health problem that, given the necessary measures of social isolation taken by the global emergency of the COVID-19 pandemic, must generate timely actions for its prevention and control from the public health services. Objective: To propose an action plan for the prevention of suicide in teenagers of the Remedios municipality, subjected to voluntary home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out in the “XXX Anniversary” Teaching Community Polyclinic of the municipality Remedios. We worked with the population of 25 teenagers between 12 and 19 years old who made suicide attempts in the period 2019-2021. The empirical methods used were: bibliographic and documentary review, participant observation, focus group, semi-structured interview and questionnaire. Results: The suicide attempt was common in female teenagers aged 17 to 19 years not identified as risk, the lack of motivation due to the study activity and the previous suicide attempts by ingesting psychotropic drugs without serious intention of dying predominated. The most frequent psychological disorders were emotional disorders, stress, depression, irritability, apathy and insomnia. Actions are presented for the prevention of suicide and promote behaviors that contribute to mental health in the context of COVID-19. Conclusion: The prevention of suicidal behavior in teenagers in conditions of social isolation due to COVID-19, must include actions that facilitate the coping with stress, intra-family communication and resilience.

Abstract:
В статье рассмотрена проблема особенностей суицидального поведения подростков с детским церебральным параличом (ДУП) в сравнении с их нормально развивающимися сверстниками. Описаны факторы риска формирования суицидального поведения у подростков в зависимости от особенностей их развития. Указано на важность профилактической работы с подростками с детским церебральным параличом по предупреждению отклоняющегося поведения. Приведен анализ специфических особенностей проявления отклоняющегося поведения у подростков с детским церебральным параличом, выявлен в процессе эмпирического исследования в сравнении с подростками с нормальным психическим развитием и связанных со структурой дефекта. Так, у подростков с детским церебральным параличом выявлен высокий уровень межличностной и социальной тревожности, высокая демонстративность, аффективность, трудности в формировании межличностных отношений со сверстниками и взрослыми, приводящие к формированию у них чувства одиночества и покинутости, сниженного настроения, а также отсутствие позитивных перспектив в будущем, агрессивность и склонность к аутодеструктивному поведению, которые могут послужить факторами возникновения суицидального поведения. Выявленные особенности подростков с детским церебральным параличом указывают на необходимость разработки и реализации комплексной программы профилактики у них суицидального поведения. The article treats the issue of suicidal behavior in adolescents with cerebral palsy as compared with their physically able peers. It describes some factors inducing suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior in physically able teenagers and in adolescents with physical disabilities. The article underlines the importance of the prevention of suicidal thoughts and acts among adolescents with cerebral palsy. It empirically assesses and analyzes the peculiarities of suicidal behavior in adolescents with cerebral palsy as compared with suicidal ideation in physically able adolescents. The research shows that teenagers with cerebral palsy show higher levels of interpersonal and social anxiety, ostentation and excessive affectivity, experience communication difficulties when interacting with their peers and adults and, therefore, feel lonely, depressed and neglected, see nothing positive in their future, show aggression and are prone to self-destructive behavior, which can easily trigger suicidal thoughts and acts. The analysis of psychological peculiarities of teenagers with cerebral palsy highlights the necessity to develop and implement a teenager suicide prevention program.

Abstract:
<p class="Body">For many years in Lithuania the rate of suicide mortality has been remarkable in magnitude, especially in the young population. Social and public health determinants, risk behaviour issues, prevention and control of suicide in teenagers and young people needs urgent attention.</p><p class="Body">The aim of the study was to investigate the self-reported perception of young people - the university students concerning suicide, the myths and reality on this phenomenon, and the links between suicidal behaviour and endorsement of myths about suicide. The self-reported survey was conducted in the university settings. The results of the survey showed that young people lack knowledge about the phenomenon of suicide and suicidal behaviour, and they still believe myths about suicide. The study revealed that one-fifth of young people had suicidal thoughts, and boys along with urban residents and suicidal family were at higher risk. Half of the students surveyed self-reported suicidal peers in their environment. Young people lack knowledge on suicide prevention, and preventive events. The study revealed that raising awareness, obtaining knowledge, and providing information to young people on the phenomenon of suicide, suicidal behaviour, and warning signs of possible attempt and suicide risk are the priority issues. Suicide prevention activities on individual, community, local and national levels need to be addressed.</p>

Morgan, Leslie. "Prevention Starts With Awareness: Adoptive Adolescents at High Risk for Suicidal Behavior." NASN School Nurse 32, no. 5 (October 13, 2016): 302–9. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1942602x16672063.
Abstract:
Adolescents are at higher risk for suicide attempts than other age groups. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death in the United States for ages 12 to 18; moreover, the risk of suicide is significantly higher for adoptive teens. In fact, adoptive teenagers have a four times higher rate of suicide attempts than biological children, perhaps due to the underlying nature of adoption, which can involve a pervasive sense of grief and loss for the adoptee. Unresolved anger and sadness from feelings of abandonment—especially when transitioning to adolescence—can cause a seemingly functional child to dissociate through self-harm and eventually demonstrate suicidal behavior. Little evidence-based research exists on the risk factors for adoptive teens who resort to suicidal behavior. Thus, it is vitally important for school nurses to understand the emotional stressors that adolescent adoptees face throughout life to help identify teens at risk for suicide. School districts and registered nurses are well positioned to address this critical health issue through education, assessment, and intervention.

Abstract:
IntroductionThe “Saving and Empowering Young Lives in Europe” (SEYLE) has gathered 12,395 high school students in 10 countries (including 1007 students in the Lorraine Region). It has been funded by the FP7 European program and coordinated by the Karolinska Institute. Its main goals were to encourage teenagers to adopt healthier behaviors by reducing risk behaviors and suicidal behaviors, to assess the benefits from various prevention programs and recommend evidence based and culturally adapted mental health promotion programs for teenagers.Inclusion and methodSEYLE is a randomized control trial evaluating 3 mental health prevention programs:– a program training school staff to identify and refer students at suicidal risk (QPR);– a mental health sensibilization program, aimed at the students (the Awareness program);– a mental health professional screening program, through self-report questionnaires and clinical interview.These prevention programs were compared to a minimal intervention control group. The students (aged 14–16 years old) filled a 127 items questionnaire at Baseline, M3 and M12.ResultsThe most salient results of this research have shown:– the efficacy on suicidal behaviors of prevention programs in schools, in particular the Awareness program (the mental health sensibilization universal program);– the existence of an invisible group of students at risk (highly sedentary students with poor sleep and media overexposure);– a high prevalence of depressive (10.5%) and (5.8%) anxious symptoms as well as non-suicidal injuries (7.8%) in European adolescents.Discussion and perspectivesThis study has provided evidence of the efficiency of mental health awareness programs in schools to decrease the number of suicides and suicidal behaviors in teenagers and to better identify “at risk” students.

Abstract:
Major depression is a treatable and common mental health disorder for youth. Untreated depression is a major risk factor for youth who become suicidal and die by suicide. Recent focus in the school-based literature on creating universal mental health promotion programs have recognized the need for effective depression awareness education programs to assist youth in identifying symptoms of depression in themselves and their peers, and to encourage those youth to seek trusted adults for help. A quasi-experimental design (QED) was employed in two suburban Chicago high schools (n=652) to evaluate the intervention, Real Teenagers Talking About Adolescent Depression (RTTAAD), a video-based universal classroom discussion intervention created by clinical social workers, parents, and youth. The analysis showed that RTTAAD led to statistically significant changes in adolescent knowledge about depression and their stated willingness to seek help from trusted adults at 6-week follow-up compared to a control classroom condition. This study supports the notion that school social workers and other school mental health professionals need to allocate more time to primary prevention work to help build mental health awareness in their school communities and to help prevent depression and suicidal behavior.

Abstract:
Introduction: Depression is one of the most common mental disorders and a serious disease that plagues many people today who end up in this through their various problems. The prevention and treatment of adolescent depression is a major issue for the society and for this reason it is important to further study this issue.Aim: This study aims to explore research studies about teenagers’ depression and its effects as well as ways to prevent and address it. Moreover, it aims to seek all cultural and historical aspects of the individual and his/her family to further understand the issue. Material and Method: This is a systematic review of research studies in the electronic databases EBSCO, MedLine, Pubmed journals and books and articles referring to the issue of teenage depression.Results: This systematic review showed that depression is a daily occurrence that affects many people and that adolescents with depression tend to multiply rather than diminish. Among the most important methods of treatment are psychotherapy and reading books.Conclusions: Young people with depression problems find difficulties in their performance in school and society and often have changes in their eating habits as they stretch their weight very often. The consequence of all the above is often suicidal behavior and suicidal tendencies or even thoughts of suicide. So the necessary prevention is needed to avoid unpleasant situations.

Abstract:
Any research of homicidal crime cannot ignore the common circumstances that unite murder and suicide into a single complex of social pathology. The specific weight of suicides exceeded the specific weight of murders almost twice among the external causes of death in 2017 — 14.4 % and 6.4 %, correspondingly. The classics of criminology and the leading modern scholars pointed out that there is an inverse relationship between the number of suicides and murders («self-killers are timid murderers» thesis), besides, suicides could be murders in disguise or the consequences of driving somebody to suicide; often if there is a possibility to view an incident as a suicide (and even if there is no such possibility), other investigation leads practically do not get checked. A number of cases where somebody’s life was taken were classified as suicides, although neither the method, nor the impact mechanism were typical of suicides. This happens especially often if the dead person is imprisoned or serves in the armed forces. Having analyzed the legislative initiatives that link the growth in the number of teenage suicides with the emergence of the so-called groups of death, encouraging teenagers to commit suicides in online groups, the authors conclude that this is, in fact, just a «fake target» used to distract the attention of the society from the objective causes of such behavior and to avoid costly prevention measures. The authors name to true causes of such actions and present their ideas regarding the measures to prevent both suicidal behavior and the camouflaging of murders as suicides.

Abstract:
Aim:To compare the psychosocial profile and suicidal behavior of 110 pregnant teenagers (PT) with 110 non-pregnant teenagers (NPT).Method:Subjects were matched by age and residential district. A structured interview and psychometric scales were used. Uni-and multivariate logistic regression were performed.Results:Prevalence in the PT and the NPT groups were: attempted suicide (20.0% vs 6.3%); depression (26.3% vs 13.6%); anxiety (43.6% vs 28.0%). Univariate analysis revealed the following significant associations with pregnancy: relocation in the previous 3 years (odds ratio (OR) = 6); years of schooling ≤7 (OR = 3.4); dropping out of school (OR = 5.2); death of a parent during childhood (OR = 2.9); use of alcohol/drugs in the family (OR = 2.5); previous attempted suicide (OR = 3.6); suicide by a relative (OR = 2.1); threats of physical/sexual abuse (OR = 3.5); depression (OR = 2.2); low level of social support (OR = 4.2), psychosocial difficulties (OR = 4.4); prior use of marijuana (OR = 4.8); weekly intake of alcohol over the previous 12 months (OR = 4.2). Multivariate analysis identified the following associations: relocation (OR = 6.4); prior use of tobacco (OR = 2.9); dropping out of school (OR = 2.3); suicide by a social acquaintance (OR = 2.5).Conclusion:The PT case group exhibited a psychosocial profile whose characteristics clearly differentiate this group from the NPT control group. Preventive mental health care is needed to help pregnant teenagers because their behavioral pattern exposes them to high risk for suicide.

Abstract:
The subject of the research is the reasons for the commission of unlawful acts provided for by Art. 110.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation committed on the Internet in relation to minors, as well as the existing system for the prevention of these illegal acts. The aim of the study is to develop proposals for improving the specified mechanism for preventing illegal acts. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the prevention of unlawful acts under Art. 110.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation committed on the Internet in relation to minors, should include the following components: detection and suppression of suicidal content; identifying individuals who are members of social network groups and taking part in games, and carefully withdrawing them from such communities; prevention of suicidal behavior with individuals who have committed suicide attempts and with their immediate surroundings. In addition, early prevention of minors and their parents of dangerous behavior on the Internet is of great importance.

Abstract.NURSING RESEARCH ON CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS AND PREVENTION OF SUICIDE BEHAVIOR IN ADOLESCENCESuicide is the second leading cause of death, according to the who, at the age of adolescence. Although not very common in children’s ages, ages within the adolescent estimation, there is usually an increase in suicide since this age is an era in which there are great internal conflicts and where to develop the instinct of resilience, responsibility and face more optimally your academic development. It's a time in which puts their identity sexual, establishes relationships social, need of be more independent. Finally, as we discussed earlier, it is a period of many changes, which is moving from childhood to adulthood. Also include risk factors that precipitate the teenager to the ideation/planning suicide, such as mental disorders, sudden changes in his life such as the separation of the parents, economic changes, etc. prevention is a good tool to prevent a fatal outcome of the person having ideation suicidal.

Aunque no suele ser muy común en edades infantiles, en edades comprendidas dentro de la estimación adolescente, suele haber un aumento del suicidio ya que esta edad se trata de una época en la que existen grandes conflictos interiores y dónde hay que desarrollar el instinto de resiliencia, responsabilidad y afrontar de forma más óptima su desarrollo académico. Es una época en la que sitúa su identidad sexual,establece relaciones sociales, necesidad de ser más independientes. En fin, como comentamos antes, se trata de una etapa de muchos cambios , que es pasar de la infancia a la edad adulta. También, se incluyen factores de riesgos que hagan precipitar al adolescente a la ideación/planeación suicida, como son alteraciones mentales, cambios bruscos en su vida como puede ser la separación de los padres, cambios económicos,etc. La prevención es una buena herramienta para evitar un fatal desenlace de la persona que tiene ideaciones suicidas. Para ello, se recomienda vigilar el estado deprimible que tiene el joven, realizar escucha activa, acudir a ayuda profesional, uso de la empatía y acompañamiento de sus sentimientos, ayuda a la introducción social y realización de deporte, entre otros.Palabras Claves: conducta suicida, suicidio, adolescencia, enfermera, prevención y factores de riesgo.

Abstract:
In order to develop the “prevention of suicides” component of the state program on mental health protection of the Kyrgyz Republic population for 2017–2030 years, a suicide situation in the country over the past 10 years was investigated. During collecting, processing and statistical analysis of data from different sources, a significant discrepancy was revealed between them.According to the national statistics committee (NSC), in 2015 the level of prevalence of suicide was 6.93% per 100,000 of population, whereas, according to the information from the republican medical information center it was 4.82%. Over the last 10 years in the Kyrgyz Republic, a level of suicidal behavior among children, teenagers and young adults has still been rather high and 22.63% of suicide attempts were committed by persons aged between 18 and 22 years. A significant difference was revealed in the indexes of suicides among these age categories provided by NSC and the ministry of Inner affairs.Due to religious and national traditions, suicide is a very sensitive topic in Kyrgyzstan. In a lot of cases, death from suicide is not registered or is disguised as accidents and other causes of death, so the figures may be considered reliable.Thus, despite the relative standardization of suicides accounting by the separate departments, the further work is needed for coordination and harmonization of the data collection, as well as for development and implementation of inter-agency action plan to prevent suicides at the national level, taking into account the regional, cultural and ethnic characteristics.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:
Abstract: In the last years an alarming increase has taken place in the number of suicides in children and teenagers, being a daily reality in the panorama of the USA, especially in the case of Latino immigrants. In the current study, a survey about the perceived risk factors for suicide was established between risk population. The sample was composed of 593 children and adolescents aged between 11 and 18 years, most Latino ethnicity, belonging to "Latina Youth Program" (LYP), a program of suicide prevention in risk population, developed by Pacifics Clinics, an organization that operates in Los Angeles, California. They interviewed the participants about the factors they considered risk for suicidal behavior. Participants were randomly selected in 2003, 2005 and 2008. The factors most commonly identified risk were the regulation of emotions (96.57%), poor family communication, poor school performance, the influence of the peer group (89.67%, 82. 73% and 41.57% respectively). The found trend is towards an increase in the perception of risk factors detected in any case up to ten risk factors for suicide. The higher quantity of variables impede the precise determination of the (s) reason (s) that might end in this fatidical conclusion, being the most common a panorama in which converge multitude of variables, crucial to settling objectives in interventions. Attribution of risk factors for suicide in children and adolescents in the Latino immigrant community: a sample of Southern California Resumen: En los últimos años se ha producido un incremento alarmante en el número de suicidios en niños y adolescentes, siendo una realidad cotidiana en el panorama de los EEUU, especialmente en el caso de inmigrantes latinos. En el presente estudio, se estableció un sondeo en población de riesgo acerca de los factores de riesgo de suicidio percibidos. La muestra quedó conformada por 593 niños y adolescentes de edades comprendidas entre los 11 y los 18 años, la mayoría de etnia latina, pertenecientes a “Latina Youth Program” (LYP), un programa de prevención del suicidio en población de riesgo, desarrollado por Pacifics Clinics, una organización que desarrolla su actividad en Los Ángeles, California. Se entrevistó a los participantes acerca de los factores que ellos consideraban de riesgo para la conducta suicida. Los participantes fueron seleccionados aleatoriamente en los años 2003, 2005 y 2008. Los factores de riesgo más comúnmente señalados fueron la regulación de emociones (96.57%), la pobre comunicación familiar, bajo rendimiento escolar, la influencia del grupo de iguales (89.67%, 82. 73% y 41.57% respectivamente). La tendencia encontrada apunta hacia un aumento en la percepción de factores de riesgo, detectándose en cualquier caso hasta diez factores de riesgo de suicidio. La cantidad de variables puestas en juego complejizan la determinación precisa de la(s) causa(s) que podrían desembocar en este fatídico desenlace, siendo lo más común un panorama en el que confluyen multitud de variables, cruciales para asentar objetivos en las intervenciones.

Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting 63, no. 1 (November 2019): 887–88. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1071181319631179.
Abstract:
Introduction Social media has created opportunities for children to gather social support online (Blackwell et al., 2016; Gonzales, 2017; Jackson, Bailey, & Foucault Welles, 2018; Khasawneh, Rogers, Bertrand, Madathil, & Gramopadhye, 2019; Ponathil, Agnisarman, Khasawneh, Narasimha, & Madathil, 2017). However, social media also has the potential to expose children and adolescents to undesirable behaviors. Research showed that social media can be used to harass, discriminate (Fritz & Gonzales, 2018), dox (Wood, Rose, & Thompson, 2018), and socially disenfranchise children (Page, Wisniewski, Knijnenburg, & Namara, 2018). Other research proposes that social media use might be correlated to the significant increase in suicide rates and depressive symptoms among children and adolescents in the past ten years (Mitchell, Wells, Priebe, & Ybarra, 2014). Evidence based research suggests that suicidal and unwanted behaviors can be promulgated through social contagion effects, which model, normalize, and reinforce self-harming behavior (Hilton, 2017). These harmful behaviors and social contagion effects may occur more frequently through repetitive exposure and modelling via social media, especially when such content goes “viral” (Hilton, 2017). One example of viral self-harming behavior that has generated significant media attention is the Blue Whale Challenge (BWC). The hearsay about this challenge is that individuals at all ages are persuaded to participate in self-harm and eventually kill themselves (Mukhra, Baryah, Krishan, & Kanchan, 2017). Research is needed specifically concerning BWC ethical concerns, the effects the game may have on teenagers, and potential governmental interventions. To address this gap in the literature, the current study uses qualitative and content analysis research techniques to illustrate the risk of self-harm and suicide contagion through the portrayal of BWC on YouTube and Twitter Posts. The purpose of this study is to analyze the portrayal of BWC on YouTube and Twitter in order to identify the themes that are presented on YouTube and Twitter posts that share and discuss BWC. In addition, we want to explore to what extent are YouTube videos compliant with safe and effective suicide messaging guidelines proposed by the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC). Method Two social media websites were used to gather the data: 60 videos and 1,112 comments from YouTube and 150 posts from Twitter. The common themes of the YouTube videos, comments on those videos, and the Twitter posts were identified using grounded, thematic content analysis on the collected data (Padgett, 2001). Three codebooks were built, one for each type of data. The data for each site were analyzed, and the common themes were identified. A deductive coding analysis was conducted on the YouTube videos based on the nine SPRC safe and effective messaging guidelines (Suicide Prevention Resource Center, 2006). The analysis explored the number of videos that violated these guidelines and which guidelines were violated the most. The inter-rater reliabilities between the coders ranged from 0.61 – 0.81 based on Cohen’s kappa. Then the coders conducted consensus coding. Results & Findings Three common themes were identified among all the posts in the three social media platforms included in this study. The first theme included posts where social media users were trying to raise awareness and warning parents about this dangerous phenomenon in order to reduce the risk of any potential participation in BWC. This was the most common theme in the videos and posts. Additionally, the posts claimed that there are more than 100 people who have played BWC worldwide and provided detailed description of what each individual did while playing the game. These videos also described the tasks and different names of the game. Only few videos provided recommendations to teenagers who might be playing or thinking of playing the game and fewer videos mentioned that the provided statistics were not confirmed by reliable sources. The second theme included posts of people that either criticized the teenagers who participated in BWC or made fun of them for a couple of reasons: they agreed with the purpose of BWC of “cleaning the society of people with mental issues,” or they misunderstood why teenagers participate in these kind of challenges, such as thinking they mainly participate due to peer pressure or to “show off”. The last theme we identified was that most of these users tend to speak in detail about someone who already participated in BWC. These videos and posts provided information about their demographics and interviews with their parents or acquaintances, who also provide more details about the participant’s personal life. The evaluation of the videos based on the SPRC safe messaging guidelines showed that 37% of the YouTube videos met fewer than 3 of the 9 safe messaging guidelines. Around 50% of them met only 4 to 6 of the guidelines, while the remaining 13% met 7 or more of the guidelines. Discussion This study is the first to systematically investigate the quality, portrayal, and reach of BWC on social media. Based on our findings from the emerging themes and the evaluation of the SPRC safe messaging guidelines we suggest that these videos could contribute to the spread of these deadly challenges (or suicide in general since the game might be a hoax) instead of raising awareness. Our suggestion is parallel with similar studies conducted on the portrait of suicide in traditional media (Fekete & Macsai, 1990; Fekete & Schmidtke, 1995). Most posts on social media romanticized people who have died by following this challenge, and younger vulnerable teens may see the victims as role models, leading them to end their lives in the same way (Fekete & Schmidtke, 1995). The videos presented statistics about the number of suicides believed to be related to this challenge in a way that made suicide seem common (Cialdini, 2003). In addition, the videos presented extensive personal information about the people who have died by suicide while playing the BWC. These videos also provided detailed descriptions of the final task, including pictures of self-harm, material that may encourage vulnerable teens to consider ending their lives and provide them with methods on how to do so (Fekete & Macsai, 1990). On the other hand, these videos both failed to emphasize prevention by highlighting effective treatments for mental health problems and failed to encourage teenagers with mental health problems to seek help and providing information on where to find it. YouTube and Twitter are capable of influencing a large number of teenagers (Khasawneh, Ponathil, Firat Ozkan, & Chalil Madathil, 2018; Pater & Mynatt, 2017). We suggest that it is urgent to monitor social media posts related to BWC and similar self-harm challenges (e.g., the Momo Challenge). Additionally, the SPRC should properly educate social media users, particularly those with more influence (e.g., celebrities) on elements that boost negative contagion effects. While the veracity of these challenges is doubted by some, posting about the challenges in unsafe manners can contribute to contagion regardless of the challlenges’ true nature.

Abstract:
Abstract Given the continued increase in the prevalence and «dependence» of modern society on various gadgets and messengers (especially among the younger generation), it is possible in this direction to find unrealized opportunities to influence the adolescent cohort of the population effective mechanisms for preventing risky behavior and various manifestations of cyberbullying facts of various violence. Purpose of the study. To explore the possibilities of prevention of risky behavior of adolescents, cyberbullying and various forms of violence against them through the use of modern Internet technologies Materials and methods. In order to achieve the goal of the study, we developed a questionnaire and conducted a social survey, which included 283 students of vocational schools, whose average age was from 15 to 17 years. In accordance with the set tasks and to achieve the goal of the research, we used a set of general scientific and special methods, interrelated and consistently applied during the research: system analysis, biblio-semantic, statistical, correlation. Results and discussion. A cross-sectional sociological survey was conducted in a case-control typewithmulti-stagerandomizationofrespondents' choice. A total of 283 vocational school students aged 15 to 17 were questioned. The teenagers were added to the orbis_zp blog on Instagram, where they were offered a survey. Questionnaires include questions that elucidate respondents' encouragement to social groups promoting a variety of risk-taking and suicide quest games; facts of committing cyberbullying to other peers; facts of physical, psychological and sexual violence against adolescents and the level of knowledge of rights and guarantees for protection against violence. In order to prevent the intensification of the negative impact of Internet resources, we have developed and registered an online blog in the Instagram application, the purpose of which is a control and preventive function to reduce the negative impact of the Internet on adolescents' awareness of the spread of risky behavior, cyberbullying and different types of violence. The online blog hosted a month-long training marathon on recognizing cyberbullying, identifying the spread of risky behavior and the facts of psychological, physical and sexual abuse against adolescents. The following Internet technologies have been used to prevent the spread and correction of the effects of theforegoing: informationexplanatorypublications (posts) on the Internet blog page, lectures through live broadcast on the orbis_zp blog, communication with adolescents through personal messages and consultation with a psychologist. After completing the online marathon, a second questionnaire was conducted regarding the effectiveness of this type of educational work. Conclusion. The effectiveness of the use of Internet technologies for the prevention of teenage risk behavior, cyberbullying and various forms of violence has been established. Reduced cyberbullying and hatred on the internet by 37,09% (from 67,49% to 30,04%; χ2 = 79,4; p < 0,001) and 47% (from 81,63% to 34,63%; χ2 = 128,4; p < 0,001), respectively; as well as cyberbullying cases – a decrease of 55,47% (from 66,78% to 11,31%; χ2 = 182,9 < 0,001). There has been an increase in adolescents' awareness of the recognition and counteraction to various forms of violence against them (from 25,95% to 89,75%; χ2 = 237,2; p < 0,001). Keywords: Adolescents, risk behavior, prevention, Internet technologies.

Abstract:
The number of suicides worldwide is growing steadily and suicide in adolescents have a distinct tendency to increase. At the moment there are many approaches that attempt to explain the true causes of suicides in children and adolescents. The authors paid special attention to the consideration of family background as a causal factor in the consolidation of self-injurious patterns in children and adolescents. The results of their study show that in families where parents have a high level of self-aggression, adolescents are more likely to exhibit suicidal behavior. For example, the number of suicide attempts in the experimental and control groups - 20,96% and 4,16% respectively. In the experimental group authentically more often Neuilly autoaggressive patterns, for example, exposure to physical violence in groups of 25,81% vs. 3,33%, the and the application of self-harm of 25,81% vs. 8,33%. The data obtained for a fresh look at the principles of preventive schemes teenage suicidology.

Abstract:
Abstract. Background: Worldwide, prisoners are at high risk of suicide. Research on near-lethal suicide attempts can provide important insights into risk and protective factors, and inform suicide prevention initiatives in prison. Aims: To synthesize findings of research on near-lethal attempts in prisons, and consider their implications for suicide prevention policies and practice, in the context of other research in custody and other settings. Method: We searched two bibliographic indexes for studies in any language on near-lethal and severe self-harm in prisoners, supplemented by targeted searches over the period 2000–2014. We extracted information on risk factors descriptively. Data were not meta-analyzed owing to heterogeneity of samples and methods. Results: We identified eight studies reporting associations between prisoner near-lethal attempts and specific factors. The latter included historical, prison-related, and clinical factors, including psychiatric morbidity and comorbidity, trauma, social isolation, and bullying. These factors were also identified as important in prisoners' own accounts of what may have contributed to their attempts (presented in four studies). Conclusion: Factors associated with prisoners' severe suicide attempts include a range of potentially modifiable clinical, psychosocial, and environmental factors. We make recommendations to address these factors in order to improve detection, management, and prevention of suicide risk in prisoners.

Abstract:
In order to investigate the problem, we conducted a psychodiagnostic study. During the implementation of the survey, the following tools were used: A. Bass – A. Darkey Questionnaire, Mini-Multifactor Test, Suicidal Risk Questionnaire (T.N. Razuvaeva Modification), Kimberley-Young Internet Addiction Test, Method for determining the tendencies to deviant behavior (A.Orel). The survey was conducted through the written face-to- face group survey of respondents. The resulting data was processed and summarized using statistical processing methods (SPSS v 23). The sample consisted of 78 adolescents (33 boys and 45 girls) aged 15-16 years. According to the results of the analysis, we distinguished two groups of subjects: teenagers with a tendency to deviant behavior and adolescents without such an inclination. Group 1 has included subjects who had high predisposition to the deviant behavior, high rates of aggression, a tendency to Internet addiction, and increased scores of the scale of susceptibility to delinquent behavior. Group 2 has included subjects who did not show the tendency to manifest deviant behavior, and the indicators according to the study were quite low or moderate. Between the indicated groups, differences were shown for a number of indicators. It is stated that adolescents with a high tendency to deviant behavior are characterized by the dominance of emotions over intellectual control in the assessment of situations, affectiveness, disposition to the addictive behavior, computer addiction, as well as high levels of aggression (physical and verbal), feelings of guilt and negativity, demonstration and hypochondria etc. Analyzing the results of the study, we applied the correlation analysis, which revealed the existence of the interconnections between the indicators of "paranoia" with "demonstrativeness" and "uniqueness", as well as between the indicators of aggression and propensity for delinquent behavior.

Abstract:
School bullying is a serious problem among teenagers, causing depression, dropping out of school, or even suicide. It is thus important to develop antibullying methods. This paper proposes a physical bullying detection method based on activity recognition. The architecture of the physical violence detection system is described, and a Fuzzy Multithreshold classifier is developed to detect physical bullying behaviour, including pushing, hitting, and shaking. Importantly, the application has the capability of distinguishing these types of behaviour from such everyday activities as running, walking, falling, or doing push-ups. To accomplish this, the method uses acceleration and gyro signals. Experimental data were gathered by role playing school bullying scenarios and by doing daily-life activities. The simulations achieved an average classification accuracy of 92%, which is a promising result for smartphone-based detection of physical bullying.

Abstract:
This paper considers suicidal behavior (presence of suicidal thoughts, self-harm, attempted and executed suicide) among prison inmates in Serbia, investigating the causes of such behavior conditioned by incarceration and the specific conditions of the prison environment. It draws upon secondary literature while analyzing ?The Report on Prisons in Serbia? issued by the Directorate for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions. It has been found that the insufficiently developed and dysfunctional formal system significantly affects the prison community and the mental health of inmates. Therefore, formal support, which implies a more agreeable prison atmosphere and culture, good communication and cooperation between staff and convicts and various suicide prevention programs, could reduce the high rates of suicidal behavior.

Abstract:
Due to the increasing rhythm and tempo of the contemporary life the feeling of stress and pressure increases as well. Especially one feels it in teen years and youth. To be able to somehow master and contain the inner changes and the pressures from the outside the resulting in feeling of inner pressure and intolerableness of the world the teenagers and youths may resort to smoking, drugs, aggressive and autoaggressive behavior. One can distinguish between suicidal, self-destructive (suicidal equivalents), self-harming types of behavior. Harming oneself may be seen as a method of dealing with negative emotions. The study of the characteristics of emotional regulation and mastering strategies among the teenagers and young people of non-clinical sample included 248 persons (128 young men and 120 young women). The average age 19,4 years. The methods used were as follows. To define the level of behavior with deliberate self-harming we used the Russian version of questionnaire The Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory (DSHI). The Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R) was used to control the presence or absence of suicidal tendencies. And The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule-Expanded (PANAS-X) was applied to identify separate parameters of emotional states. While the choice of the concrete mastering strategies was assessed with the help of the COPE method. The research showed significant differences in the parameters of negative emotional characteristics between the autoaggressors and the persons who never performed any autoaggressive actions. Moreover the "recent autoaggressors" showed a much higher level of the expressed negative emotions than the "old ones". It was confirmed that autoaggressors use a singular model of evasion where the key aspects of self-harming behavior would be the hightened level of negative emotions. It was found that autoaggressors choose non-adaptive coping strategies more often than the participants of the normative test-group.

Abstract:
Studied that in general educational establishments, military commissariats during the initial staging of teenagers on the military account, upon applicants in Universities to identify suicidal risk guidance documents are not provided and are not carried out, and a statistic of children's and teen suicides in Russia exceeds the world average in 2,7 times. Found that adolescents with a high level of mental adaptation indicators of suicidal risk, and the level of mental adaptation increased the proportion of adolescents with suicidal risk. In adolescents with the right-side brain lateralization of suicidal risk indicators identified in 3 times more frequent than in adolescents with left-side lateralization. In patients with right-sided brain laterali zation indicators of suicidal risk only for those individuals who were originally in a group “maladaptive”, as well as persons who were des adaptations to the dynamics of this group of groups with higher mental adaptation, even assuming that this exclusion was staging with a subsequent improvement. For adolescents with a left-handed lateralization peculiarity is not typical. It is shown that in groups with low levels of mental adaptation increases significantly the proportion of persons with the presence of suicidal risk. The algorithm of early objective risk assessment of suicide mass surveys and prediction of suicidal behavior in teenagers. Using this algorithm, for the first time, you can diagnose the deterioration of mental status in dynamics on dynamic reduce the level of mental adaptation and promptly implement their correction to prevent suicidal behavior. The algorithm provides for active participation of surveyed adolescents and their parents (guardians) with observance of all legal provisions in the diagnosis level of mental adaptation and measures to prevent suicides.

Abstract:
The article presents the data on suicide incidence in Russian Federation. The author discusses the necessity of developing prevention programs and carrying out complex team-based specialist work to ensure safe environment at schools. It is noted that prevention and postvention methods should be scientifically grounded. History of development of a special psychotherapeutic cognitive-behavioral protocol for suicide prevention and postvention is presented. The author examines the problem of diathesis (predisposition) to suicidal behavior and formulates the main principles of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy of patients predisposed to suicidal behavior. Key stages of cognitive-behavioral therapy of suicidal behavior, techniques and approaches to working with such clients are described. Various targets that should be taken into account during crisis interventions are discussed. The article presents empirical research data of the effectiveness of cognitive psychotherapy of suicidal behavior and the results of the empirical study of factors of suicidal behavior in students based on multi-factor psychosocial model of affective spectrum disorders. It is emphasized that individual psychotherapy should be combined with other methods of suicide prevention and postvention. Perspectives of further development of methods of working with suicidal behavior are outlined.

Abstract:
Adolescence is a stage of life that begins, according to specialists, around the age 13-14 and can extend even until 20 years old. The end of adolescence marks the beginning of maturity and the transition to adulthood. This period is characterised by a series of obstacles, whereby psychological and behavioural imbalances are often identified. For teenagers, showing off, being different and impressing their friend groups are common. As a result, alcohol use is one of the many options adolescents may choose to reach such "performance." Many of them are nonchalant regarding alcohol use and consider drinking a temporary phase with no consequences. Others have deeper knowledge about drinking, but don’t apply them. In this paper, I will highlight some aspects on perception and behaviour in adolescents regarding alcohol use, which were analysed based on an interview applied to teenagers in several high schools in Suceava County. I will also detail the strategies and possibilities of prevention to reduce this phenomenon among adolescents.

Abstract:
AbstractSuicidal behavior is transmitted within families, above and beyond the transmission of psychiatric disorder. The familial phenotype of suicidal behavior includes suicide completion and attempts, but not suicidal ideation, the latter of which is transmitted along with depression. The familial transmission of early-onset suicidal behavior is co-transmitted with, and appears to be mediated by the transmission of impulsive aggression. Additionally, the familial transmission of suicidal behavior is, in part, mediated by the familial transmission of abuse. Moreover, high family loading for mood disorder and suicidal behavior are related to multi-generational abuse, impulsive aggression, and early-onset of mood disorder and of suicidal behavior.

Abstract:
Anorexia nervosa usually develops during adolescence when considerable structural and functional brain changes are taking place. Suicidal intentions could occur at this period and the number of teenage suicides spikes. Te research among adults has registered the defcit of executive functions both in different mental disorders and in suicidal behavior. However, there is no clarity about what is the role of executive functions in dynamic of AN among female teenagers. Te question is: do they have an effect on level of suicidal ideation? We have researched executive functions in adolescent girls with AN and suicidal ideas. We identifed that the disfunction in specifc cognitive domains (executive and psychomotor functions) and the global neuropsychological insufciency (composite score BACS) could stimulate an appearance of suicidal ideas in AN.

Abstract:
Abstract. Background: The effectiveness of suicide intervention programs has not been assessed with experimental designs. Aim: To determine the risk of suicide reattempts in patients engaged in a secondary prevention program. Method: We included 154 patients with suicidal behavior in a quasi-experimental study with a nontreatment concurrent control group. In all, 77 patients with suicidal behavior underwent the Suicide Behavior Prevention Program (SBPP), which includes specialized early assistance during a period of 3–6 months. A matched sample of patients with suicidal behavior (n = 77) was selected without undergoing any specific suicide prevention program. Data on sociodemographics, clinical characteristics, and suicidal behavior were collected at baseline (before SBPP) and at 12 months. Results: After 12 months, SBPP patients showed a 67% lower relative risk of reattempt (χ2 = 11.75, p = .001, RR = 0.33 95% CI = 0.17–0.66). Cox proportional hazards models revealed that patients under SBPP made a new suicidal attempt significantly much later than control patients did (Cox regression = 0.293, 95% CI = 0.138–0.624, p = .001). The effect was even stronger among first attempters. Limitations: Sampling was naturalistic and patients were not randomized. Conclusion: The SBPP was effective in delaying and preventing suicide reattempts at least within the first year after the suicide behavior. In light of our results, implementation of suicide prevention programs is strongly advisable.

Abstract:
Suicide is a public health problem affecting people across the lifespan. It is currently the 10th leading cause of death, with rates having remained relatively flat for the past century. This article summarizes the problem of suicide and suicidal behavior along with suicide prevention efforts in the United States. Part 1 provides an overview of the epidemiology of suicide, including groups most at risk of suicide and suicidal behavior. Part 2 provides a review of common risk factors, organized by developmental life stage. A brief discussion of the lesser well-researched area of protective factors follows. Part 3 provides an overview of suicide prevention today, including the major types of prevention strategies, their successes, including means restriction, quality improvement in behavioral services, and comprehensive programs; and limitations to date, such as a lack of evidence for impact on actual deaths or behavior, small sample sizes, and low base rates. Finally, part 4 discusses challenges and future directions with an eye toward the great many opportunities that exist for prevention.

Abstract:
203 patients were examined, including 75 with dementia at Alzheimer’s disease (AD), 73 with vascular dementia (VD) and 60 patients with mixed dementia (MD). Patients were divided into main and control group by the factor of presence/absence of signs of suicidal behavior (intentions, attempts, thoughts, anti-vital mood, statements). Among patients with AD, 36 patients were the main group, 39 were the control group; at VD 39 patients were main group, 34 were control group; in mixed dementia, 30 patients were included in the main group, 30 patients were in the control group. It has been found that in 56 % of cases with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease, in 65 % with vascular dementia and 56 % with mixed dementia of the clinical picture, suicidal behavior (SB) is observed. The complex of factors of SB risk/anti- risk and suicide-genesis mechanisms in dementia, that became the targets for development of differentiated program for medical and psychological rehabilitation and prevention (MPRP) patients with SB in dementia were distinguished. The suicide-genesis concept in dementia which determines the mechanisms of the formation of suicidal behavior under the influence of clinical and intra-personal indexes, was worked out. Accounting the formation mechanisms and SB predictors, special features of clinical and psychopathological, clinical and phenomenological SB demonstration in various types of dementia the complex and differentiated MPRP program and SB prevention, realized on the basis of complex approach including usage of psychopharmacological, psychotherapeutic, psychoeducational psychosocial actions was worked out and tested. The result of the developed system testing proved its high efficiency, which is supported by the positive dynamics of clinical and psychopathological indexes of suicide status and level of independence in the everyday life of patients with SB in dementia.

Abstract:
People with suicidal ideation (PSI) are increasingly using social media to express suicidal feelings. Researchers have found that their internet-based communication may lead to the spread of suicidal ideation, which presents a set of challenges for suicide prevention. To develop effective prevention and intervention strategies that can be efficiently applied in online communities, we need to understand the behavior of PSI in internet-based communities. However, to date there have been no studies that specifically focus on the behavior of PSI in Chinese online communities. A total of 4489 postings in which users explicitly expressed their suicidal ideation were labeled from 560,000 postings in an internet-based suicidal community on Weibo (one of the biggest social media platforms in China) to explore their behavior. The results reveal that PSI are significantly more active than other users in the community. With the use of social network analysis, we also found that the more frequently users communicate with PSI, the more likely that users would become suicidal. In addition, Chinese women may be more likely to be at risk of suicide than men in the community. This study enriches our knowledge of PSI’s behavior in online communities, which may contribute to detecting and assisting PSI on social media.

Abstract:
The review is devoted to the hardiness of the individual as a factor of specifi c protection, potentially capable of reducing the risk of developing suicidal behavior. The development of the concept of “hardiness” and the features of its application in the subject field of suicidology are considered. ”Hardiness” is understood as a key personality variable that mediates the influence of stressful factors (including chronic ones) on somatic and mental health, as well as on the success of an activity. It is hardiness that allows a person to endure the fatal anxiety that accompanies the choice of the future (uncertainty), and not the past (immutability) in a situation of existential dilemma. The source base of the study was 38 publications. High agreement was noted between the authors that hardiness is an important protective factor for the emergence of suicidal ideations, performs a buffer (antisuicidal) role in a situation of distress, and is part of the normative functions of the human adaptation system. The significance of the contribution of certain parameters of hardiness to the protection of anti-vital and suicidal behavior can vary individually and socioculturally. The linear nature of the influence of the components of the phenomenon of hardiness on the likelihood of anti-vital and suicidal behavior seems relative. Significant for the development of suicide prevention measures are evidence that suicidal risk is associated with a weakening of reserves of hardiness, and a decrease in this risk is possible by strengthening the potential of hardiness through targeted psychosocial interventions. The potential variability of the parameter “hardiness” allows us to consider it as an important target for the prevention of suicide.

Abstract:
IntroductionSelf-harming and suicidal behaviour are both well-recognized problems during adolescence. While prevalence rates are very high and still rising in most western countries, there is an extensive need for understanding childhood developmental aspects, personality factors and psychological correlates of self-harm and suicidality. Additionally, specific and effective prevention should be established regarding self-harming and suicidal behaviour as one of the largest concerns of public health during this period of life.ObjectivesTo investigate the prevalence and the associated psychological and social factors of self-harming behaviour in adolescents. To evaluate a school-based intervention aimed at reducing self-harming behaviour in adolescents.MethodsIn the years 2005 and 2010 we performed one population-based, cross-sectional study including a sample of 5,759 ninth-grade students and one randomized-controlled, school-based prevention study within the large EU-consortium (SEYLE) comprising a sample-size of 1,387 students on self-harming and suicidal behaviour in Heidelberg.ResultsThe data suggest that there is a strong link between social factors and occasional self-injurious behavior and, especially in repetitive self-injurious behaviour, that there is a strong association between self-injurious behaviour and suicidal behaviour as well as self-injurious behaviour and emotional and behavioural problems. Preliminary results of the randomized-controlled prevention study could reveal a decrease of self-harming behaviour in adolescents in the short-term as well as long-term-follow-up.ConclusionsThe results support a need to investigate the possible neurobiological underpinnings as well as social factors of self-harming behaviour within a longitudinal model.

Abstract:
In recent years, a general consensus has emerged regarding postvention activities in schools following completed suicides of teenagers. In this case study, standard postvention activities were carried out in a middle school after two youths from the same neighborhood committed suicide 3 months apart. Soon thereafter, a substantial increase in suicidal talk, threats, and attempts took place. Inadvertently, some of the postvention activities appeared to contribute to the romanticization and glorification of the deaths. Changes in postvention practices were made in order to defuse the atmosphere of “romantic tragedy,” which in turn led to a decrease in suicidal behavior.

Abstract:
The issues of prevention of suicidal incidents in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are considered. The analysis of suicide prevalence among military personnel of various categories and their prevailing causes for the period from 2013 to 2017 is indicated. Indicates a change in the percentage ratio of various categories of military personnel who committed suicide, with a steady increase in the proportion of privates and sergeants serving in military service under the contract (from 24,6% in 2011 to 57,4% in 2017). It was established that among the servicemen under the contract family and everyday reasons for suicide prevailed, while conscripts were military professional. A comparison was also made of the long-term (2007-2017) dynamics of suicide rates and the incidence of mental disorders among military personnel, and certain patterns were identified. Thus, in the group of officers and ensigns, a significant correlation was noted between the long-term dynamics of suicide rates with neurotic (r=0,74) and addictive disorders (r=0,86), as well as general mental morbidity (r=0,83), and for conscripts, with personality disorders (r=0,79) and organic mental disorders (r=0,71). A comparison of the long-term dynamics of the overall incidence of mental disorders and the suicide rate among conscripts also showed a positive correlation (r=0,69). Analyzed the system of prevention of suicidal incidents in military personnel, which currently exists and proposed measures for its improvement, including the areas of activity of officials for the prevention of suicidal incidents in the military. It also indicates the need to shift the focus from specific prevention (direct detection and prevention of suicidal actions in military personnel with mental disorders) to non-specific (prevention of general mental distress and suicidal tendencies in mentally healthy people).
