Abstract
Depressive symptoms and participation in health-harming behaviours are key risk factors for youth suicidal ideation, while self-esteem and perceived social support are protective factors. The purpose of the present article is to highlight differing patterns of these risk and protective factors for youth suicidal ideation by gender, as well as by rural and urban communities. Through structural equation modelling, the presence of differing patterns of risk and protective factors for youth suicidal ideation potentially supports the case for targeted approaches to prevention based on gender and geographic region.
