abstract = {Background: Previous literature suggests that low self-esteem is a risk
factor for suicide attempts, but no meta-analyses have been conducted
to assess this association in adolescents/young adults. The present study
examined the relationship between low self-esteem and suicide attempts in
young people (12-26 years old). Method: Meta-analyses were performed
using random-effects models (ES) and odds ratio (OR). Heterogeneity and
sensitivity analyses were performed. Results: From 26,883 initial titles,
22 studies met the inclusion criteria, of which 9 studies had data that could
be included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis showed that youths
with lower self-esteem were more likely to have future suicide attempts,
with an effect size (self-esteem as continuous variable) of d = .58 (95% CI
= .44 - .73) and, for low self-esteem (categorical variable) an OR = 1.99
(95% CI = 1.39-2.86; p < .001). Conclusion: A low level of self-esteem is
a risk factor for suicide attempts in adolescents/young adults.},
