A total of 697 adolescents were recruited from high schools (age range 15-16 years) in Jeju area. According to existence of suicidal ideation, they were divided into two groups-suicidal ideation group and non-suicidal ideation group, and the differences between groups in terms of various sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, including depression (Beck Depression Inventory), and health related conditions.RESULTS:

The associated factors of suicidal ideation were depression [odds ratio (OR)=2.42, p< or =0.001], short sleep duration (OR=1.84, p=0.009), current alcohol use (OR=4.94, p< or =0.001), self reported poor health (OR=2.10, p=0.004), and school bullying (OR=3.06, p=0.002).CONCLUSION:
