The prevalence of violence exposure is relatively unexplored in adolescents in European communities, and reports on the association between exposure to community violence and suicidal behavior are rare. The aim of this study was to investigate (1) the prevalence of community violence in a European urban adolescent sample, (2) the relationship between exposure to community violence and suicidal ideation/deliberate self-harm, and (3) the influence of depressive symptoms and aggressive behavior on this relationship. Self-report surveys were administered to a representative school-based sample of 1509 adolescents in Antwerp (Belgium). The prevalence rate of violence exposure was still high but lower than that reported in U.S. communities. Suicidal ideation and deliberate self-harm were both related to violence exposure. The gender-specific influence of depressive symptomatology and aggressive behavior on the association between exposure to violence and suicidal behavior suggests the need for further research.
在欧洲社区的青少年中，暴力暴露的患病率相对未得到充分研究，关于社区暴力暴露与自杀行为之间关联的报道也很少。本研究的目的是调查：（1）欧洲城市青少年样本中社区暴力的患病率；（2）社区暴力暴露与自杀意念/蓄意自伤之间的关系；（3）抑郁症状和攻击行为对这种关系的影响。对比利时安特卫普市1509名青少年的具有代表性的学校样本进行了自我报告调查。暴力暴露的患病率仍然很高，但低于美国社区报告的患病率。自杀意念和蓄意自伤都与暴力暴露有关。抑郁症状和攻击行为对暴力暴露与自杀行为之间关联的性别特异性影响表明有必要进行进一步研究。
