Résumé :
ENGLISH :
We read with great interest the article by Bolognini and colleagues (Bolognini et al., 2003), which analyzed suicide attempts among adolescents. The authors pointed to the abuse and misuse of various substances by adolescents and outlined the importance of such behavior among risk factors for suicide attempts. Also, they proposed principles for early and better assessment of suicide risk among this population. We here point to the need to act in the same way for the prevention of attempted suicide (which constitutes an important risk factor for suicide) in young schizophrenics who are substance abusers.
