It is difficult to compare our findings with studies of
general population youth because rates vary widely, depending on the sample, the method, the source of data (participant or collaterals), and whether functional impairment was required for diagnosis.50 Despite these differences, our overall rates are substantially higher
than the median rate reported
in a major review article (15 %) 50 and other more recent investigations: the Great Smoky Mountains Study (20.3 %), 56 the Virginia Twin Study of Adolescent Behavioral Development (142 cases per 1000 persons), 57 the Methods for the Epidemiology of Child and Adolescent Mental Disorders (6.1 %), 32 and the Miami — Dade County Public School Study (38 %).58 We are especially concerned about the high rates of

than are younger persons.10, 11 Past suicide attempts are a strong risk factor for subsequent suicidal behaviors
in those with substance use disorders.12 Depressed mood is a risk factor for suicidal behaviors
in the
general population and also predicts a greater likelihood of suicide
in those with alcohol or drug use disorders.3, 6,10 The link between
depression and suicidal behaviors
in those with substance use disorders may be particularly strong given the high comorbidity between mood and substance use disorders.13 Although it has not been examined thoroughly, independent mood disorders and substance - induced mood disorders are likely to confer risk for suicide.
