Abstract

Adolescent substance use elevates risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs). Sensitivity to reward (SR) has been linked to alcohol use. In this study, adolescents hospitalized for STBs completed self-report measures and interviews. Marijuana use, but not alcohol use, was associated with increased SR scores.
