Resumen:
Sumario:Results on suicidal risk assessed in a sample composed of 1567 adolescent students (both sexes, mean age= 15) are presented. Participants lived in different regions of Argentina: Catamarca, Tucumán and Buenos Aires (Mar del Plata City and Buenos Aires City). Data were gathered by the Argentinian version of the Inventory for Suicidal Orientations (ISO – 30). 11.5% of students in high suicidal risk was detected in Buenos Aires City, while 12.8% was verified in San Miguel de Tucumán City. 5.9 % of high risk was assessed in Mar del Plata City, and 15% in different small towns of Catamarca. Being female and living in small towns appear as risk factors.
