Suicide Re Attempts in Young Adults After First Suicide Attempt : Socio-demographic, Clinical and Biological Correlates

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among people aged 15 to 24 (WHO, 2014). After a first suicide attempt, the 18 to 25 years old would be very likely to repeat the act: 25 to 31% would make a new attempt in the following year (Christiansen et al, 2007). Nevertheless the literature on this subject is not detailed. In this project, we hypothesize that young adults aged 18 to 25 who have made their first suicide attempt will repeat their act more frequently than younger or older populations. In addition, these young people would have identifiable risk factors (sociodemographic, clinical and biological) that differ from young people who do not enter this phenomenon. Our main objective is to measure the rate of suicidal reiteration in a population of young adults aged 18 to 25 years. Our secondary objectives are to identify sociodemographic, clinical and biological characteristics of a population of suicidal re attempt young people, to highlight potential risk factors
