Five Profiles of Adolescents at Elevated Risk for Suicide Attempts: Differences in Mental Health Service Use

Our primary study aims were to identify latent class profiles of adolescents with elevated suicide risk, and to examine the association of these profiles with mental health service use (MHSU).
