| Sumario: | A persistent issue for public health officials, suicide attempts among adolescents have increased in many parts of the United States since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite some work examining antecedents of suicide decisions, less is known about how certain experiences - exacerbated by the pandemic - influence adolescents’ propensity to attempt suicide. Using representative data from a sample of Florida adolescents, this study relies on Agnew’s General Strain Theory to investigate how pandemic-related parental job disruptions influence suicide decisions, and whether this relationship occurs indirectly through feelings of anger and depressive emotions. Results indicate that parental job disruptions are positively associated with one’s odds of attempting suicide, with most of this relationship occurring indirectly through depressive emotions. |
