这项研究在两个离家出走和无家可归的青年(RHY)样本中考察了青年自杀企图与青年和家庭物质使用之间的关系：(A)居住在收容所的具有全国代表性的RHY样本，和(B)在街上发现的多个有目的的RHY样本。数据是通过对1992年640名收容所青年和600名街头青年的个人访谈收集的。Logistic回归分析显示，在控制了关键的人口学特征后，使用过药物(特别是镇静剂、迷幻剂和吸入剂)的年轻人比没有使用过药物的年轻人更有可能曾试图自杀。此外，在控制了自己的药物使用后，有家庭成员使用过药物的青少年试图自杀的可能性是没有此类家庭成员的青少年的两倍。这项研究表明，制定和重点预防自杀努力的重要性在于，已知曾使用(或正在使用)药物的人和有使用药物的家庭成员。
This study examined how youth suicide attempts are associated with youth and familial substance use among two samples of runaway and homeless youth (RHY): (a) a nationally representative sample of RHY residing in shelters, and (b) a multicity, purposive sample of RHY found on the street. Data were collected using personal interviews from 640 shelter youth and 600 street youth in 1992. Logistic regression analyses revealed that, after controlling for key demographic characteristics, youth who had used substances (particularly sedatives, hallucinogens, and inhalants) were much more likely than those who had not used substances to have ever attempted suicide. In addition, after controlling for their own substance use, youth with family members who had used substances were twice as likely as those without such family members to have ever attempted suicide. This study suggests the importance of developing and focusing suicide prevention efforts on RHY known to have used (or are using) substances and to have substance-using family members.
