使用2005年青少年危险行为监测数据（n = 13，917）的高中生，我们检查了四个领域的风险因素（酒精/药物使用，攻击，艾滋病毒相关的风险行为和健康问题）和自杀倾向的指标（考虑自杀企图，制定自杀企图的计划，实际上企图自杀）之间的关联。Logistic回归显示，药物使用（例如，最近吸烟，13岁以前饮酒），受害（例如，在学校受到威胁，被女孩/男朋友打），危险的性行为（例如，强迫发生性行为，使用避孕套）和两个健康问题（健康状况一般/差，有残疾/健康问题）与所有三个自杀指标相关。这些发现表明，预防酒精/药物使用，解决侵略，促进安全和防止不安全的性行为的计划也可以防止自杀。
Using the 2005 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance data (n = 13,917) of high school students, we examined the association between four domains of risk factors (alcohol/drug use, aggression, HIV risk-related behaviors, and health problems) and indicators of suicidality (considering a suicide attempt, making a plan to attempt suicide, and actually attempting suicide). Logistic regressions showed that drug use (e.g., recent smoking, drinking before 13), victimization (e.g., threatened at school, hit by girl/boyfriend), risky sexual behavior (e.g., forced to have sex, used a condom) and two health problems (health as fair/poor, has disability/health problem) were associated with all three indicators of suicidality. These findings suggest that programs to prevent alcohol/drug use, address aggression, promote safety, and prevent unsafe sexual practices may also prevent suicidality.
