Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this research is to investigate associations between police contact, non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), and suicidal ideation (SI) among a national sample of Canadian adolescents and young adults (ages 16-30).
METHODS
Data used in this study were obtained from the Canadian Study of Adolescent Health Behaviors (N = 940), a national survey of Canadians ages 16-30.
RESULTS
Police contact was associated with higher odds of NSSI (OR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.37, 2.86). Those who reported police contact with intrusion (OR = 2.39, 95% CI = 1.49, 3.38) and police contact with harassment (OR = 3.98, 95% CI = 2.30, 6.88) had higher odds of NSSI relative to respondents with no contact. Finally, any police contact was associated with higher odds of SI (OR = 1.56, 95% CI = 1.04, 2.34) and respondents experiencing police stops with harassment had higher odds of SI compared to those who had never been stopped (OR = 2.48, 95% CI = 1.45, 4.24).
CONCLUSIONS
Distressing police contact heightens the risk of NSSI and SI among young people. Rigorous evaluation of trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate strategies for identifying and intervening on NSSI and SI following adverse police encounters should be prioritized.
背景和目标本研究的目的是调查加拿大全国青少年和年轻成年人(16-30 岁)样本中与警察接触、非自杀性自伤(NSSI)和自杀意念(SI)之间的关联。方法本研究使用的数据来自《加拿大青少年健康行为研究》(Canadian Study of Adolescent Health Behaviors,N = 940),这是一项针对 16-30 岁加拿大人的全国性调查。与没有接触过警察的受访者相比,那些报告接触过警察并被侵入(OR = 2.39,95% CI = 1.49,3.38)和接触过警察并被骚扰(OR = 3.98,95% CI = 2.30,6.88)的受访者发生 NSSI 的几率更高。最后,与警察的任何接触都与较高的 SI 发生几率相关(OR = 1.56,95% CI = 1.04,2.34),与从未被警察拦截过的受访者相比,经历过警察拦截和骚扰的受访者发生 SI 的几率更高(OR = 2.48,95% CI = 1.45,4.24)。应优先考虑对以创伤为基础、适合发展的策略进行严格评估,以识别和干预不良警察接触后的 NSSI 和 SI。
