目的：本研究旨在探讨直接接触，间接接触，并犯下枪支暴力和自杀意念之间的联系，经历无家可归的年轻人（YAEH）。方法：YAEH（n = 1，426）在美国的七个城市进行了调查。Logistic回归分析进行了研究之间的关联终身枪支暴力暴露和自杀idea在过去的12 months.Results：45%（n = 641）的YAEH经历过直接或间接的枪支暴力，而17%（n = 247）从事枪支暴力犯罪。枪支暴力犯罪与YAEH中自杀意念风险升高相关（比值比= 1.46; 95%置信区间= 1.02-2.01）。结论：高比例的YAEH暴露于枪支暴力。有必要进行跨部门、多机构合作，以减少这一弱势群体的枪支暴力风险。无家可归者服务提供者应筛查枪支暴力暴露和自杀风险，并针对有枪支暴力犯罪史的YAEH开展预防工作。(C)2020年青少年健康和医学协会。All rights reserved.
Purpose: This study aimed to explore the association between direct exposure, indirect exposure, and perpetration of gun violence and suicidal ideation among young adults experiencing homelessness (YAEH).Methods: YAEH (n = 1,426) in seven cities across the U.S. were surveyed. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the association between lifetime gun violence exposure and suicidal ideation in the past 12 months.Results: Forty-five percent (n = 641) of YAEH had experienced direct or indirect gun violence, whereas 17% (n = 247) had engaged in gun violence perpetration. Gun violence perpetration is associated with elevated suicidal ideation risk (odds ratio = 1.46; 95% confidence interval = 1.02-2.01) among YAEH.Conclusions: A high percentage of YAEH were exposed to firearm violence. Cross-sector, multi-agency collaborations are warranted to reduce firearm violence exposure among this vulnerable population. Homeless service providers should screen for gun violence exposure and suicide risk and target prevention efforts on YAEH with a history of gun violence perpetration.
