Studies about the outcome of adolescent suicide attempts have generally shown a bad prognosis. The main short-term risk is the repetition of the attempt which occurs in one case out of three. The main long-term risks are increased rates of mortality, about twenty fold compared to the population of same age, and persisting psycho-social problems. Follow-up care is therefore very necessary, but drop out is frequent. Practician's determination and decisions at the time of the attempt are therefore an important stake.
