To study the prevalence and predictive factors of suicide attempts among Chilean adolescents. Material andMethods:

Beck hopelessness scale, Beck depression scale and Coppersmith self-esteem inventory.Results:

These attempts were significantly associated with female gender, absent parents, family dysfunction, drug abuse, smoking, low self-esteem, hopelessness, depression and recent suicidal ideation. A logistic regression analysis accepted female gender, smoking and recent suicidal ideation as significant independent predictors of suicide attempt.Conclusions:
