这项研究探讨了无家可归的青少年所采用的应对策略对自杀意念、街头自杀企图以及感到被困/无助的影响。分析中检查的应对策略包括以问题为中心的应对策略和回避型应对策略，以及之前探索性定性研究中确定的几种应对策略。更大的风险与回避型应对、社交退缩、使用药物和酒精作为应对方式有关，而“对更美好未来的信念”与较低的风险水平有关。性别互动涉及回避应对和社交退缩，这两者都是女性风险水平的更大贡献者。一些应对方法，包括以问题为中心的策略以及年轻人在之前的定性研究中确定的策略，都被认为无助于改善自杀倾向。 (c) 2006 年青少年服务专业人员协会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
This study examined the impact of coping strategies employed by homeless youth upon suicidal ideation, suicide attempts on the streets, and feeling trapped/helpless. Coping strategies examined in the analysis included problem-focused and avoidant coping, along with several coping strategies identified in previous exploratory qualitative studies. Greater risk was associated with avoidant coping, social withdrawal, use of drugs and alcohol as coping, with "belief in a better future" linked to lowered risk levels. Gender interactions emerged with respect to avoidant coping and social withdrawal, both of which served as greater contributors to risk levels among females. Several approaches to coping including problem-focused strategies and strategies identified by youths in previous qualitative works emerged as not serving to ameliorate suicidality.
