OBJECTIVES
We investigated the impact of statewide job loss on adolescent suicide-related behaviors.
METHODS
We used 1997 to 2009 data from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey and the Bureau of Labor Statistics to estimate the effects of statewide job loss on adolescents' suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and suicide plans. Probit regression models controlled for demographic characteristics, state of residence, and year; samples were divided according to gender and race/ethnicity.
RESULTS
Statewide job losses during the year preceding the survey increased girls' probability of suicidal ideation and suicide plans and non-Hispanic Black adolescents' probability of suicidal ideation, suicide plans, and suicide attempts. Job losses among 1% of a state's working-age population increased the probability of girls and Blacks reporting suicide-related behaviors by 2 to 3 percentage points. Job losses did not affect the suicide-related behaviors of boys, non-Hispanic Whites, or Hispanics. The results were robust to the inclusion of other state economic characteristics.
CONCLUSIONS
As are adults, adolescents are affected by economic downturns. Our findings show that statewide job loss increases adolescent girls' and non-Hispanic Blacks' suicide-related behaviors.
目的
研究全州范围的失业对青少年自杀相关行为的影响。
方法
我们使用了 1997 年至 2009 年期间的青年风险行为调查和劳工统计局的数据，以评估全州范围的失业对青少年自杀意念、自杀企图和自杀计划的影响。概率回归模型控制了人口统计学特征、居住州和年份；根据性别和种族/族裔对样本进行了划分。
结果
在调查前一年全州范围内的失业增加了女孩自杀意念和自杀计划的概率，以及非西班牙裔黑人青少年自杀意念、自杀计划和自杀企图的概率。全州 1%劳动年龄人口的失业增加了女孩和黑人报告自杀相关行为的概率 2 至 3 个百分点。失业对男孩、非西班牙裔白人和西班牙裔的自杀相关行为没有影响。在纳入其他州经济特征后，结果仍然稳健。
结论
和成年人一样，青少年也受到经济衰退的影响。我们的研究结果表明，全州范围的失业增加了青少年女孩和非西班牙裔黑人的自杀相关行为。
