Personality domains of conscientiousness, agreeableness, and extraversion account for a significant amount of variance to adherence to medical regimen in adolescent hypertensive patients. The three domains predict adherence behaviors differentially. Considering personality, practitioners could identify adolescents at risk for non-adherence and then tailor medical interventions accordingly. Conscientious patients benefit from short interventions aimed at improving self-regulation and excercise focused intervention was recommended to better suit for extraverted adolescents.

Research demonstrated that 42% of participants had suicide ideation at least once in lifetime, 13% attempted suicide and 17% were self-mutilators. High-impulsive subjects were younger, more often single, and exhibited more prominent psychoticism, extraversion, aggression, hostility and hardiness. They were more frequently diagnosed with substance use disorders and engaged in self-mutilating behavior than prisoners low in impulsiveness. There was no difference in the rate of suicide attempts between the two groups. The suicide rate was strongly predicted by childhood trauma.
