This research study will help us to understand how social, biological, and cognitive factors are related to thoughts about suicide among adolescents. We will ask about 150 teenagers ages 14-18 to tell us about their emotional health, things that cause them stress, childhood experiences, and their relationships with family and friends.
Participants will complete three lab visits during the study period, including one at baseline and two follow-up visits (at 6 and 12 months after baseline). At each lab visit, participants will complete a self-report assessment battery, an interview protocol assessing suicidality and psychopathology, a blood draw, a hair sampling procedure, and computer-based neurocognitive assessments.
