This study examined the presence and correlates of COVID-specific suicidal thoughts and behaviors (i.e., thoughts of or engaging in intentional COVID-19 exposure with associated suicidal intent) among psychiatrically hospitalized adolescents. Adolescents (N = 143) completed study measures as part of the standard intake process between March 13th and August 14th, 2020. Participants answered questionnaires assessing COVID-specific passive and active suicidal ideation (SI) and suicidal behavior, as well as COVID-related stressors and emotions, and public health guidance compliance. Findings highlights that COVID-specific SI is common in high-risk youth. COVID-specific SI was associated with COVID-19-related negative emotions, elevated stress, and decreased public health guidance compliance. Results suggest that COVID-specific suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and risk correlates, should be assessed within high-risk populations to facilitate prevention of risky behavior associated with intentional COVID-19 exposure.
本研究调查了精神病住院青少年中 COVID-19 特异性自杀意念和行为（即有意 COVID-19 暴露相关的自杀意念和行为）的存在及相关因素。2020 年 3 月 13 日至 8 月 14 日期间，青少年（N=143）作为标准入院流程的一部分完成了研究评估。参与者回答了评估 COVID-19 特异性被动和主动自杀意念（SI）和自杀行为的问卷，以及 COVID-19 相关压力源和情绪，以及公共卫生指导的遵守情况。研究结果表明，COVID-19 特异性 SI 在高危青少年中很常见。COVID-19 特异性 SI 与 COVID-19 相关的负面情绪、压力升高和公共卫生指导遵守度下降有关。结果表明，应在高危人群中评估 COVID-19 特异性自杀意念和行为及其风险相关性，以促进预防与故意 COVID-19 暴露相关的危险行为。
