The study focuses on suicide attempts among adolescents in Santo Domingo from 2019-2020, revealing a higher prevalence in females aged 17-19, particularly urban students. Key personal risk factors include a history of attempts and insufficient social and family support, while family rejection emerged as a significant external factor. Most attempts were classified as unserious, with tablet ingestion being the common method. The research highlights notable family dysfunctionality within the affected population, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions.
