Summary
231 Croatian adolescents whose fathers had severe military-related PTSD and who were admitted to a psychiatric inpatient unit participated in a study examining the prevalence and psychosocial correlates of suicide attempts. Adolescent internalizing symptoms, family dysfunction, lower levels of maternal and paternal care, and paternal over control were significantly associated with suicide attempts.
