- Legleye S., Beck F., Peretti-Watel P., Chau N., Firdion J.-M. “Suicidal ideation among young French adults : association with occupation, family, sexual activity, personal background and drug use”, Journal of Affective Disorders, 2009 december 4.


summary
To assess associations among young adults between suicidal ideation in the previous year and adverse childhood events, occupation, education, tobacco use, alcohol abuse, cannabis use in the previous month, illicit drug use, sexual orientation and activity, depression, physical violence in the previous year, and lifetime forced sexual intercourse. A subsample of 4075 French adults aged 18–30 years was drawn from a random national telephone survey in 2005. Suicide prevention should integrate the fact that besides depression, unemployment, family history, age, and sexual activity and orientation are specific risk factors among men, whereas illicit drug use, violence and forced sexual intercourse are more important among women.
