The study adopted a survey research design. The study population comprised all the 28,673 undergraduate students of the university out of which 800 students were selected by stratified random sampling for the study. A questionnaire was used in gathering data for this study. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, cluster and factor analyses. The study concluded that the patterns of suicide ideation among undergraduate students of Obafemi Awolowo University are passive.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the impact of child abuse and substance desire on adolescent suicide. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on all adolescents aged 12 to 19 who attempted suicide in 2018 at Khorshid Hospital, Isfahan, Iran. A checklist of the patients’ demographic information, toxicological data, and 2 standard questionnaires, including substance desire (family, personal, social) and child abuse questionnaire (emotional abuse, physical abuse, and neglect abuse), were collected. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 15. Comparisons between the 2 groups were performed using t tests, chi-square tests, regression analysis, and crude model analysis. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval were calculated based on logistic regression. Findings: A total of 196 teenagers were included in the study, with a mean age of 16.48±1.6 years. Out of these, 155 individuals (79.1%) were female, resulting in a female-to-male ratio of 3.78. There was a significant relationship between gender and alcohol consumption in the personal aspect, as well as between the history of psychiatric diseases and alcohol consumption in the physical aspect (P<0.005). The previous history of suicide was the only variable that showed significance in all aspects of both the substance desire and child abuse questionnaires. History of neglect abuse (OR: 1.2, 95% CI [1.07–1.41]; P=0.009) was a predictive factor for suicide attempt. However, being male (OR: 0.12, 95% CI [0.039–0.37], P=0.000), having no psychiatric history (OR: 0.23, 95% CI [0.10–0.52], P<0.001) and not consuming alcohol (OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.15–0.71, P=0.005) were identified as protective factors for attempted suicide. Conclusion: A public health strategy for suicide prevention includes implementing prevention strategies aimed at reducing risk factors, such as alcohol consumption and the risk of neglect abuse.

“…Importantly, a wide range of globally published articles has discussed and evident that negative life events can impact a child in various ways. For example, causing behavioral problems, poor academic performance, poor health outcomes, early death, violence perpetration, sleep problem, and premature mortality (Blum et al, 2019;Blodgett & Lanigan, 2018;Brown et al, 2009;Park et al, 2020;Petruccelli et al, 2019;Ray et al, 2021;Khairi et al, 2022;Bahrami et al, 2021;Ching et al, 2022). Concerning the mental health of the child due to exposure to ACEs and symptoms of depression among Malaysian single-parent adolescents are limited.…”

The divorce rate has increased in Malaysia which may result in exposure to ACEs. Although some research has explored the outcome of ACEs among adolescents, research on adolescents from single-parent families and depression is limited. This study measures the relationship between ACEs, resilience, and depression among adolescents. The study instruments include demographic information, ACEs, BDI-II, and the Resilience scale used among adolescents aged between 13 to 18 years. This cross-sectional descriptive study comprises 81 (46.8%) male and 92 (53.2%) female respondents. Adolescents (n=135) 78.0% who participated in this study are currently living with their mothers. On the other hand, only (n=38) 22.0% of the adolescents were living with their fathers. Importantly, a total of (n=120) 69.4% of the adolescent's parents were separated without legal documents, and only (n=19) 11.0% of the adolescent's parents had legally divorced and deceased one parent including (n=34) 19.7% of respondents. The findings and results revealed that (Ha1) there is a significant relationship between ACEs and depression r= .249**, p= 0.001 (two-tailed), p<0.05. Moreover, (Ha2) resilience does not mediate the relationship between ACEs and depression (a*b = .12, Bootstrap CI95 = -.11 and .43). Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected. Lastly, (Ha3) gender significantly moderates the relationship between ACEs and depression (β=.063, SE= .024, p<.000). In a nutshell, mental health issues or precisely depression are common among adolescents who live with single parents. The rise in adverse experiences also increases depression positively. This is especially true among female adolescents. Immediate action against illegal separation has to be taken to reduce childhood trauma. On the other hand, it also reduces the number of children sent to welfare or Orphanages.
