What is it about?
As they transition from childhood to adolescence, Hong Kong secondary school students may experience deteriorating mental health and are at increased risk of suicide. However, there have been insufficient systematic studies of the longitudinal relationship between suicide risk and protective factors. This study adopted a network perspective to investigate the longitudinal associations between suicide risk and protective factors among Hong Kong secondary school students.

Perspectives
These results suggest the importance of including anxious-impulsive depression and protective factors, especially emotion regulation, in suicide theories and suicide prevention practice.
