AB Background: Previous literature suggests that low self-esteem is a riskfactor for suicide attempts, but no meta-analyses have been conductedto assess this association in adolescents/young adults. The present studyexamined the relationship between low self-esteem and suicide attempts inyoung people (12-26 years old). Method: Meta-analyses were performedusing random-effects models (ES) and odds ratio (OR). Heterogeneity andsensitivity analyses were performed. Results: From 26,883 initial titles,22 studies met the inclusion criteria, of which 9 studies had data that couldbe included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis showed that youthswith 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 isa risk factor for suicide attempts in adolescents/young adults.
