Abstract

Suicide attempts in children and adolescents are a major public health concern.

While many studies have been conducted on adolescent suicidal behaviour, less attention has been paid to suicide attempts in children and preadolescents. Screening for children who are more likely to be suicidal must be performed as early as possible by general practitioners, paediatricians and school doctors.
