Abstract
INTRODUCTION: To investigate the association between suicidal behavior, perceived gender equality, and childhood traumas among depressive adolescent girls who have attempted suicide in the last 1 year. METHODS: 84 adolescent girls aged between 12-18 (Eastern Provinces n=34, Western Provinces n=50) were assessed via Columbia Suicide Severity Scale by clinicians to determine the severity of their suicidal behavior. Participants and their mothers filled the Perception of Gender Scale (PGS); participants completed Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). RESULTS: Participants from the eastern provinces had significantly lower PGS scores (t=-2.369, p=0.02) and higher BDE (t=-2.081, p=0.04), and CTQ-Emotional Neglect (U=537.500, p=0.03) scores than those from the western provinces. Participants from the eastern provinces more frequently classified into high-severity suicide cluster than those from the western provinces (X2(1)=6.215, p=0.01). PGS score was significantly correlated with both CTQ-emotional neglect score (rho=-0.240, p=0.03), maternal education level (rho=0.282, p=0.001), and maternal-PGS score (rho=0.430, p
