In this study, we examined the relationship between familism and family environment type as well as the relationship between family environment type and suicide attempts among Latina youth. Latina teen attempters (n = 109) and nonattempters (n = 107) were recruited from the New York City area. Latent class analysis revealed three family environment types: tight-knit, intermediate-knit, and loose-knit. Tight-knit families (high cohesion and low conflict) were significantly less likely to have teens who attempted suicide as compared with intermediate-knit families or loose-knit families. Moreover, familism increased the odds of being in a tight-knit family versus a loose-knit family and the odds of being in a tight-knit family versus a intermediate-knit. The results suggest that familism may protect against suicide behavior among Latinas via its influence on family environment.
在这项研究中，我们研究了家庭主义与家庭环境类型之间的关系，以及家庭环境类型与拉丁裔青少年自杀企图之间的关系。从纽约市地区招募了 109 名拉丁裔青少年企图自杀者（n=109）和非企图自杀者（n=107）。潜在类别分析揭示了三种家庭环境类型：紧密型、中等型和松散型。与中等型或松散型家庭相比，紧密型家庭（高凝聚力和低冲突）青少年自杀企图的可能性显著降低。此外，家庭主义增加了处于紧密型家庭而不是松散型家庭的几率，以及处于紧密型家庭而不是中等型家庭的几率。研究结果表明，家庭主义可能通过对家庭环境的影响来保护拉丁裔人免受自杀行为的影响。
