Abstract

Introduction: Firearms are the most frequent means of youth suicide for the 14-18-year-old age group, and adolescent firearm access confers substantial increases in the risk of suicidal behaviors. There have been significant increases in firearm purchases and firearm violence in the United States since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: This study uses four time points of nationally representative data from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) from 2015 to 2021 to examine the differential associations of reporting having carried a firearm and suicide-related outcomes, after controlling for relevant demographic factors. As a sensitivity analysis, we examined whether a similar risk pattern was seen for the probability of reporting depressed mood.

Results: Results reveal significant increases in suicide-related outcomes among students who reported carrying a firearm and no significant increases among those who did not. Unlike the suicide-related outcomes, increases in depressed mood overtime were not limited to students who carried firearms, suggesting that the risk associated with firearms may be specific to suicide-related outcomes.

Conclusions: Carrying a firearm is associated with significant increases in the risk of suicidal ideation and behaviors among youth and this risk has increased between 2015 and 2021. Implications for youth suicide prevention and directions for future research are discussed.

2015 年至 2021 年期间全国代表性样本中携带枪支与青少年自杀风险结果。
导言:枪支是 14-18 岁年龄组青少年最常见的自杀手段,青少年接触枪支会大大增加自杀行为的风险。自 COVID-19 大流行以来,美国的枪支购买量和枪支暴力事件大幅增加:本研究使用了 2015 年至 2021 年青少年风险行为调查(YRBS)中具有全国代表性的四个时间点的数据,在控制了相关人口学因素后,研究了报告携带过枪支与自杀相关结果之间的不同关联。作为一项敏感性分析,我们研究了报告情绪低落的概率是否存在类似的风险模式:结果显示,在报告携带枪支的学生中,自杀相关结果明显增加,而在未报告携带枪支的学生中,自杀相关结果没有明显增加。与自杀相关结果不同的是,抑郁情绪超时增加并不局限于携带枪支的学生,这表明与枪支相关的风险可能是自杀相关结果特有的风险:携带枪支与青少年自杀意念和行为风险的显著增加有关,而且这种风险在 2015 年至 2021 年期间有所增加。本文讨论了预防青少年自杀的意义以及未来的研究方向。

期刊介绍: An excellent resource for researchers as well as students, Social Cognition features reports on empirical research, self-perception, self-concept, social neuroscience, person-memory integration, social schemata, the development of social cognition, and the role of affect in memory and perception. Three broad concerns define the scope of the journal: - The processes underlying the perception, memory, and judgment of social stimuli - The effects of social, cultural, and affective factors on the processing of information - The behavioral and interpersonal consequences of cognitive processes.
