Year: 2025

Type: editorial

Abstract: This response addresses a commentary on our original work that examined United States adolescent suicidal ideation and attempts by weight group and by perceived closeness to others at school. In this response, we clarify key aspects of our work, highlight areas of conceptual agreement with the commentary authors, and discuss future research directions for adolescent suicide prevention. This exchange emphasizes the complexity of adolescent suicide risk and highlights the importance of continued multidisciplinary discussion to advance clinical research and practice.
