在过去十年中，自杀仍然是青少年死亡的主要原因之一，也是公共卫生的优先事项。参与法庭审判的非监禁少年司法青少年经常存在自杀的风险因素。在这些法庭参与的青年中，14%（n = 50）赞同自杀意念和企图的终身史。三个主要因素与风险增加有关：既往犯罪，物质使用和儿童期性虐待史。这项研究强调了理解非拘留青少年司法人群中自杀行为的重要性。社区法院的参与为协调青少年及其家庭的筛查和自杀预防工作提供了难得的机会。
Over the past decade, suicide remains one of the leading causes of death among adolescents and a public health priority. Court-involved non-incarcerated juvenile justice youth frequently present with risk factors for suicide. Among these court-involved youth, 14% (n = 50) endorsed a lifetime history of suicidal ideation and attempts. Three main factors were associated with increased risk: prior offense, substance use, and childhood sexual abuse histories. This study highlights the importance of understanding suicidal behavior among nondetained juvenile justice populations. Community-based court involvement provides a rare opportunity to coordinate screening and suicide prevention efforts for youth and their families.
