Abstract
The present study examined the relationship between parent–adolescent conflict and adolescent suicidal ideation in Hong Kong, China. Depression and anxiety were investigated as possible mediators of this relationship. A cross-sectional survey was conducted, with 338 valid self-administered questionnaires completed by adolescents. The results indicated that parent–adolescent conflict is significantly associated with suicidal ideation among adolescents in Hong Kong. This effect was mediated by those adolescents who suffered from depression and anxiety. To decrease Chinese adolescent suicidal ideation resulting from parent–adolescent conflict and depression, prevention intervention is suggested, such as parenting programmes and more help for adolescents who have symptoms of depression.
