2018.4 Suicidal risk and behavior among Mexican adolescent students, Q.
Hernandez-Cervantes, E. Lucio, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico
Suicidal ideation and attempts among Mexican youth have risen in the last two decades. Particular
concern emerges from suicidal behavior prevalence data indicating that urban high-school students
of 12 to 15 years old are at greater risk than other populations. In this study we present the
findings of a school-based multiphase intervention strategy. In the first stage, a screening program
is conducted to identify at-risk students; afterwards a psychological assessment is carried out with
an emphasis on stressful life events, personality traits, and current life circumstances. Finally,
guidelines for psychosocial treatment derived from the psychological evaluation are proposed.
2018.5 Individual, family and social factors of suicidal attempts in adolescents, M.E.
Rivera-Heredia, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico
The purpose was to identify differences between adolescents with and without suicidal attempts,
in some individual, family and social factors such as: depressive symptoms, suicide ideation,
drugs consume, family interactions, academic achievement and consume of alcohol and drugs in
relatives and friends. The sample was integrated with 106 adolescents (15-20), distributed in two
groups with equal characteristics of age and sex. Data was gathered via CES-D, Family Interaction
Assessment, and scales about drug consume, suicide ideation and suicide attempts. It was
confirmed that individual, family and social factors differ between the 2 groups. Possible
prevention strategies are suggested.

2019.1 Cognitive dysfunction in the first episode of schizophrenia, H. Kucerova, P. Radovan,
K. Tomas, C. Eva, Faculty Hospital, Brno, Czech Republic
The aim of the study was to assess the level of cognitive deficit and its change after a year of
treatment in patients hospitalised with their first schizophrenic episodes.Hypotheses:1. Cognitive
deficit is present already during the first schizophrenic episode.2.Successful pharmacotherapy
leads only to alleviation of cognitive deficit. The different aspects of cognitive functions were
examined in all patients. Our finding is consistent with published opinions that cognitive deficit is
a core symptom of schizophrenia and does not originate as late as in the process of the illness or as
a result of pharmacotherapy.

The game called Family Tree has been adopted and tested for clinical and research use. In this test,
the patient is asked to find the ancestors of the members of a broader family tree according to the
basic information written on the cards. Planning, reasoning, volition and goal directed behavior
are presumed to play a key role in the process of problem solving. The sample of schizophrenic
