这项研究检查了2013年新墨西哥州青年风险和弹性调查（NM-YRRS），以确定文化联系和与成年人的积极关系是否能防止美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AI/AN）青年的自杀企图，以及这些关系是否因性别而异。样本包括2，794名9至12年级的AI/AN学生，他们回答了有关去年自杀企图的问题。测试的保护因素变量包括与家庭、学校和社区中成年人的关系。在家里说的语言被用作文化联系的替代措施。在双变量分析中，与成年人的积极关系与过去一年自杀企图的患病率呈负相关。然而，在家里说的语言与自杀企图的流行无关。多变量分析表明，在女孩中，与成年人在家里，在学校，在社区的关系独立与较低的自杀未遂患病率。在男孩中，只有与家中成年人的关系显示出这种联系。这些结果对未来研究AI/AN青少年自杀风险相关保护因素的方向以及自杀干预和预防方案的设计具有重要意义。
This study examined the 2013 New Mexico Youth Risk and Resiliency Survey (NM-YRRS) to determine whether cultural connectedness and positive relationships with adults protected against suicide attempts among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth and whether these relationships differed by gender. The sample included 2,794 AI/AN students in grades 9 to 12 who answered the question about past-year suicide attempts. Protective factor variables tested included relationships with adults at home, school, and the community. The language spoken at home was used as a proxy measure for cultural connectedness. Positive relationships with adults were negatively associated with the prevalence of past-year suicide attempts in bivariate analysis. However, language spoken at home was not associated with the prevalence of suicide attempts. Multivariate analysis showed that among girls, relationships with adults at home, at school, and in the community were independently associated with lower suicide-attempt prevalence. Among boys, only relationships with adults at home showed such an association. These results have important implications for the direction of future research about protective factors associated with AI/AN youth suicide risk as well as in the design of suicide intervention and prevention programs.
