本研究调查女性未成年被拘留者的自杀倾向和健康风险行为，并确定自杀行为与其他危险活动的相关程度。本研究还探讨了12种健康风险行为，其患病率，以及样本人群中自杀行为的相关性。研究人员收集了104名年龄在12岁至20岁之间的女性青少年的数据，这些青少年长期居住在美国东南部地区的拘留中心。采用描述性统计和回归分析。自杀意念（40%）和自杀企图（34%）在女性青少年被拘留者中非常普遍。结果还表明，自杀意念的持久性显着影响暴露于各种形式的人际暴力。尽管越来越多的人接触到与自杀和高危行为密切相关的心理社会因素，但很少有人关注这一特定人群。研究建议也进行了讨论。
This study investigates suicidality and health-risk behaviors among female juvenile detainees and identifies the extent to which suicidal behaviors are correlated with other risky activities. This study also explores 12 health risk behaviors, their prevalence, and relative associations to suicidal behaviors within the sample-population. Researchers collected data from 104 female adolescents, ages 12 to 20, residing in a long-term, detention center in the southeastern region of the United States. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were utilized. Suicidal ideations (40%) and suicide attempts (34%) were highly prevalent among female juvenile detainees. Results also suggest that the persistence of suicidal ideations was significantly influenced by exposure to various forms of interpersonal violence. Despite increased exposure to psychosocial factors strongly correlated to suicidal and high risk behaviors, little attention has been given to this particular population. Research recommendations are also discussed.
