When comparted with the general population, the suicide rate in correctional populations is elevated. While predictors of suicide are well researched in jail and prison populations, much less work has been done to examine predictors of suicide in community corrections samples where 80% of the US correctional population is currently supervised.
The goal of this study was to determine factors associated with suicide risk in a community corrections sample.
Self-reported current ideation was examined in a sample of 512 individuals under supervision.
When univariate associations between current suicidal ideation and predictor variables were examined, current suicidal ideation was associated with being female, being White, reporting an increased level of stress, reporting an increased level of depression, meeting criteria for an anxiety disorder, an increased number of physical health complaints, and self-report of family dysfunction. In a multivariate analysis predicting suicide risk, only meeting criteria for an anxiety disorder, an increased number of physical health complaints, and self-report of family dysfunction were significant.
Mental and physical health complaints as well as self-report of family dysfunction are salient predictors of suicide risk in the community corrections population.
与普通人群相比，惩教人群中的自杀率较高。虽然在监狱人群中对自杀预测因素进行了充分研究，但在社区惩教样本中，对自杀预测因素的研究要少得多，而目前美国80%的惩教人群处于社区惩教监管之下。
本研究的目的是确定社区惩教样本中与自杀风险相关的因素。
在512名受监管个体的样本中检查自我报告的当前自杀意念。
在检查当前自杀意念与预测变量之间的单变量关联时，当前自杀意念与女性、白人、报告压力水平增加、报告抑郁水平增加、符合焦虑症标准、身体健康投诉数量增加以及家庭功能障碍的自我报告有关。在预测自杀风险的多变量分析中，只有符合焦虑症标准、身体健康投诉数量增加以及家庭功能障碍的自我报告具有显著性。
心理健康和身体健康投诉以及家庭功能障碍的自我报告是社区惩教人群中自杀风险的显著预测因素。
