Abstract :

Now-a-days suicide has become one of the most common cause of death and very few published work is there in this area, we have conducted a study of suicidal behavior in adolescents based on psycho-social determinants. For this we have taken a 643 adolescents from both urban and rural area through WHO “HEEADSSS” questioner on psycho social variables. In this present study we found that prevalence of suicidal behavior is 28.30% and one of the major determinant was domestic violence and depression (p<0.05 as significant).
