Experiences of child abuse and neglect are risk factors for youth suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Accordingly, suicide risk may emerge as a developmental process that is heavily influenced by the rearing environment. We argue that a developmental, theoretical framework is needed to guide future research on child maltreatment and youth (i.e., adolescent and emerging adult) suicide, and to subsequently inform suicide prevention efforts. We propose a developmental model that integrates principles of developmental psychopathology and current theories of suicide to explain the association between child maltreatment and youth suicide risk. This model bears significant implications for future research on child maltreatment and youth suicide risk, and for suicide prevention efforts that target youth with child maltreatment experiences.
虐待和忽视儿童的经历是青少年自杀念头和行为的风险因素。因此，自杀风险可能是一个受养育环境影响很大的发展过程。我们认为，需要一个发展的、理论的框架来指导未来关于儿童虐待和青少年（即青少年和刚成年的成年人）自杀的研究，从而为自杀预防工作提供信息。我们提出了一个发展模型，该模型整合了发展心理病理学的原则和当前的自杀理论，以解释儿童虐待与青少年自杀风险之间的关联。该模型对未来关于儿童虐待和青少年自杀风险的研究以及针对有儿童虐待经历的青少年的自杀预防工作具有重要意义。
