Abstract |
Depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation are common internalizing\n problems during adolescence. Numerous studies have explored the role of\n certain demographic, social, and economic factors in their development\n in referred or non-referred adolescents, but not simultaneously in both\n groups. In this study, we examined the association between age, gender,\n parents\' educational level, and socioeconomic status (SES) and\n depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation in a referred group (n = 211)\n and a non-referred (n = 1401) group of adolescents. We also examined the\n moderating role that these factors play in the relationships between\n both internalizing problems. The results showed: higher levels of\n depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation in the referred group; an\n increase in both problems during early-to-middle adolescence in the\n non-referred group; an association between low SES and suicidal ideation\n in both groups; an association between low father\'s education level and\n depressive symptoms in the non-referred group; and no gender differences\n in either of these two internalizing problems. The moderation analyses\n showed that age, in referred adolescents, and SES, in non-referred\n adolescents, moderated the relationship between depressive symptoms and\n suicidal ideation. This study contributes to the identification of\n groups of vulnerable adolescents that could constitute the target\n populations of preventive programs. |
