Suicide is a leading cause of adolescent death and has increased in recent years. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect that relationships with adults at home and in the community had on the probability of suicide attempts of Hispanic teenagers in New Mexico. Data from the 2019 New Mexico Youth Risk and Resiliency Survey were analyzed to identify the ways in which relationships with adults influenced suicide attempts among Hispanic adolescent students. The examined factors included: relationships with adults in the home and in the community and with same-age friends, and participation in hobbies or organizations outside of school. The resiliency factors were similar for male and female Hispanic students. As positive relationships with adults at home or in the community increased, the probability of suicide attempts decreased by 37-54%. Positive relationships with same-age friends were also associated with reduced suicide attempts. Community organization involvement and hobbies affected males and females differently. Adults at home and in the community can decrease the risk of suicide for Hispanic teenagers through supportive relationships. Hybrid programs focusing on adolescent health, positive communication, and academic support, which integrate adults from home and community environments, show promise in reducing suicidal thoughts and other risk behaviors.
自杀是青少年死亡的主要原因之一，近年来有所增加。本研究的目的是探讨家庭和社区中与成年人的关系对新墨西哥州西班牙裔青少年自杀企图概率的影响。对 2019 年新墨西哥州青少年风险和适应力调查的数据进行了分析，以确定成年人的关系如何影响西班牙裔青少年学生的自杀企图。所研究的因素包括：与家庭和社区中的成年人以及同龄朋友的关系，以及参与校外爱好或组织的情况。对于男女西班牙裔学生来说，恢复力因素相似。随着与家庭或社区中的成年人的积极关系的增加，自杀企图的概率降低了 37-54%。与同龄朋友的积极关系也与自杀企图减少有关。社区组织的参与和爱好对男性和女性的影响不同。通过支持性的关系，家庭和社区中的成年人可以降低西班牙裔青少年的自杀风险。专注于青少年健康、积极沟通和学业支持的混合项目，将家庭和社区环境中的成年人整合在一起，有望减少自杀念头和其他风险行为。
