To examine the association between school-level poverty status and students' persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, suicidality, and experiences with violence victimization among U.S. high school students.
Public schools captured in the 2015 and 2017 national Youth Risk Behavior Surveys were categorized as high-, mid-, or low-poverty based on the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals (N=29,448).
Students in high-poverty schools were significantly more likely than students in low-poverty schools to experience persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, experience suicidal thoughts and attempts, not go to school because of safety concerns, be threatened or injured with a weapon on school property, be bullied on school property, be physically forced to have sexual intercourse, and be victims of sexual and physical dating violence.
School and community approaches to address suicide and violence victimization may be especially important for students living in poverty.
探究美国高中生的学校贫困状况与学生持续感到悲伤或绝望、自杀意念和经历暴力受害之间的关联。
根据有资格享受免费或降价餐食的学生比例，将 2015 年和 2017 年全国青少年风险行为调查中涵盖的公立学校分为高贫困、中贫困和低贫困学校。
高贫困学校的学生比低贫困学校的学生更有可能持续感到悲伤或绝望、有自杀想法和尝试、因安全问题而不去上学、在校内受到威胁或受伤、在校内被欺凌、被强迫发生性关系，以及成为性和身体约会暴力的受害者。
针对贫困学生，学校和社区采取措施来解决自杀和暴力受害问题可能尤为重要。
