Abstract
Adolescence is a high-risk period for sleep problems and suicidal behavior. The current study is interested in understanding the role of negative affect on the relation between sleep problems and risk for suicide among adolescents. Specifically, negative affect intensity and negative affect reactivity are examined as mediators on this relation.
