Abstract:
Objective: Although a link has been suggested between attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and completed suicide, little is known about the association with suicidal behaviors in community settings. This study addresses the relationship between childhood hyperactivity‐inattention symptoms (HI‐s) and subsequent suicidal behaviors. Method: Nine hundred sixteen subjects aged 7–18 were recruited from the general population and surveyed in 1991 and 1999. Parent and adolescent self‐reports provided psychopathology and suicidal behavior pattern measures. Multivariate modeling was used to evaluate the effects of childhood HI‐s and other risk factors on adolescent suicidal behaviors. Results: In males, HI‐s independently accounted for the risk of lifetime suicide plans/attempts (OR=3.25, P = 0.02) and adolescent 12‐month prevalence rates of suicide plans/attempts (OR=5.46, P = 0.03). In females, HI‐s did not independently heighten the likelihood of suicidal behaviors. Conclusion: This survey suggests a possible specific link between HI‐s and suicide plans/attempts in males.
