“…We found no significant association between demographic factors such as age, sex, grade level, and any of the three suicidal behaviors. This nonsignificant finding contradicts what has been found by some past studies that shows that whereas adolescent females are more likely to experience suicidal ideation than their counterparts (Exner-Cortens et al, 2013), adolescent males are more likely to attempt suicide (Bozzay, Liu, & Kleiman, 2014;Olié, Travers, & Lopez-Castroman, 2016). Future studies are needed to explore contextual factors that are likely to influence such differences in suicidal behaviors among females and males.…”

Although studies have investigated and found physical teen dating violence (TDV) has a significant negative impact on mental health outcomes, few studies are yet to investigate the effect of physical TDV on suicidal behaviors among adolescents. The objectives of this study are to examine the prevalence of physical TDV, suicidal ideation, suicide plan, and suicide attempt among adolescents aged 14 to 18 years and the association between physical TDV and these suicidal behaviors. Data for this study were obtained from the 2015 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. A sample of 9,693 adolescents aged 14 to 18 years (50.4% males) was analyzed using logistic regression with suicidal ideation, suicide plan, and suicide attempt as outcome variables and physical TDV as the main explanatory variable. About 17% of the adolescent students experienced suicidal ideation, 13.7% made a suicide plan, and 7.6% attempted suicide during the past 12 months. Among those who were dating, 9.9% experienced physical TDV. In the multivariate logistic regression, adolescent students who experienced physical TDV were 1.92 times more likely to have experienced suicidal ideation, 1.67 times more likely to have made a suicide plan, and 2.42 times more likely to have attempted suicide during the past 12 months when compared with their counterparts who were dating but experienced no physical TDV. Other significant predictors of suicidal behaviors include being a sexual minority, experiencing forced sex, bullying, feeling sad or hopeless, and binge drinking. Having sufficient sleep lowered the odds of suicidal ideation and suicide plan. The topic of physical TDV and its association with suicidal behaviors among adolescents is such an important issue for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in the United States and around the world. Prevention and intervention efforts should be culturally tailored to reflect the unique experiences with physical TDV and suicide among minority populations such as sexual minority adolescents.

“…Earlier estimates by Curtis, Iburg, and Bjerregaard (1997), reported that 27% of participants had been depressed or suffered from anxiety. According to Olié et al (2016), 70% of individuals who attempt suicide experience depressive symptoms at the time of the attempt and 15% of those suffering from depression will commit suicide. In conclusion, depression and suicide are associated.…”

“…Suicide is a highly complex phenomenon, in which social, historical, psychological, biological, genetic, and even climate factors play a role (Courtet, 2016;Wasserman, 2016). From the psychological perspective, there is an extensive body of research that shows associations between suicide or suicide attempts 91 and depression (Harwitz & Ravizza, 2000;Olié, Travers, & Lopez-Castroman, 2016), post-traumatic stress disorder (Kotler, Iancu, Efroni, & Amir, 2001;LeBouthillier, McMillan, Thibodeau, & Asmundson, 2015;Stevens et al, 2013;Tarrier & Picken, 2011;Wilcox, Storr, & Breslau, 2009), and life satisfaction (Valois, Zullig, Huebner, & Drane, 2004), especially in cases in which post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression or schizophrenia are co-morbid (Stevens et al, 2013). Unfortunately, this kind of research studies rarely examine samples in Greenland, where suicide is highly prevalent and has been identified as an indicator of poor mental health, already almost 20 years ago (Bjerregaard & Young, 1998).…”
