Adolescent suicide is currently the third leading cause of death for children and adolescents (ages 1-19), and 15-30% of adolescents who attempt suicide go on to re-attempt within one year (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [USHHS], 2012; World Health Organization [WHO], 2012). It is therefore important to have a greater understanding of the risk and protective factors of the immediate post-attempt time period (Cash & Bridge, 2009; Ross & Heath, 2002; Yates, Tracy, & Luthar, 2008). Recently, increased emphasis has been placed upon social support and its role in adolescent mental health, although, to our knowledge, there has only been one longitudinal study with more than two timepoints measuring change in peer connectedness in suicidal adolescents. Czyz and colleagues (2012) examined suicidality in adolescents over the course of one year following psychiatric hospitalization. They found that for adolescents whose peer connectedness increased more, the likelihood of attempting suicide was reduced by approximately 50%. The present study expands upon Czyz's findings, examining the distinct group of adolescents who make serious suicide attempts, and looking specifically at change in peer attachment during the critical post-attempt (two-year) time period. In addition, the present study allows for the examination of a model in which depression moderates this association between peer attachment and ideation. Findings suggest that an increase in perceived peer attachment are associated with a decline in suicidal ideation after a suicide attempt, and that this benefit may be most valuable for adolescents who are less depressed at baseline.
