Abstract

AIM

This study aimed to examine whether or not sexual minority youth constitute an at-risk group for nonsuicidal self-injury, suicidal ideation or suicide attempts during their emerging adult years.

METHODS

Using data from the Challenging Times Study, a population-based study of psychopathology and suicide in Ireland, analyses were conducted to test the associations between sexual minority status and the odds of any lifetime experience of nonsuicidal self-injury, suicidal thoughts or suicide attempts among Irish youth aged 19-24 years.

RESULTS

Sexual minority youth had 6.6-fold (95% CI 1.7-24.7) increased risk of nonsuicidal self-injury, a 5.0-fold (95% CI 1.3-18.3) increased risk of suicidal ideation, a 7.7-fold (95% CI 1.8-32.0) increased risk of suicide intent and a 6.8-fold (95% CI 1.6-27.6) increased risk of a suicide attempt during their lifetime compared to their heterosexual peers.

CONCLUSIONS

This study shows that emerging adulthood is a period of risk for suicide and nonsuicidal self-injurious behaviour among sexual minority youth.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在探讨性少数青年在成年早期是否构成非自杀性自伤、自杀意念或自杀未遂的高危群体。

方法

利用来自“挑战时期研究”的数据，该研究是一项基于爱尔兰人群的精神病理学和自杀研究，进行分析以检验性少数身份与19至24岁爱尔兰青年一生中经历非自杀性自伤、自杀想法或自杀未遂的几率之间的关联。

结果

与异性恋同龄人相比，性少数青年一生中经历非自杀性自伤的风险增加了6.6倍（95%置信区间1.7 - 24.7），自杀意念风险增加了5.0倍（95%置信区间1.3 - 18.3），自杀意图风险增加了7.7倍（95%置信区间1.8 - 32.0），自杀未遂风险增加了6.8倍（95%置信区间1.6 - 27.6）。
