520			_aThis research explored the perceptions of 24 women who had engaged in non-fatal suicidal behaviour while under the age of 25 years. It sought to determine how the women saw their behaviour, their considerations of the factors that led to their suicidality, how they made sense of their actions, and how they progressed beyond suicidal behaviour. The investigation employed a qualitative research design that used open-ended, semi-structured interviews. The results confirm that sexual abuse is a common precursor to suicidal behaviour. Several women disclosed that if they had not had a history of sexual abuse they would not have attempted suicide. The effects of sexual abuse were made worse where women reported problems with disclosure and associated issues of control concerning this. These related factors may also play a role in whether women go on to engage in suicidal behaviour. Additionally, a supportive environment for the woman and strong self-esteem may factor into whether suicidal behaviour is attempted.
