“…Our results also showed that memories of warmth and safeness and the ability to reassure oneself emerged as significant predictors which may act as a protective factor against suicide ideation, due to their negative effect on such ideation and positive impact on resilience and wellbeing. [58][59][60] Curiously, high-risk behaviors also emerged as the second strongest negative predictor of suicide ideation. In adolescence, such behaviors often occur in groups and, despite their potential negative consequences, high-risk behaviors should be thought to occur within a context that may provide gains -such as the increased sense of belonging -which are incompatible with the feelings of inadequacy, isolation, and depression experienced by most individuals with severe suicide ideation.…”

Objective: To characterize non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors, methods, and functions as well as suicide ideation in the adolescent population of a Portuguese community in Sã o Miguel Island, Azores. Increasing rates of NSSI behaviors among adolescents have been observed globally, while suicidal behavior has been pointed as a major cause of death during adolescence. Methods: A sample of 1,763 adolescents, aged 14 to 22, was randomly drawn from public and private schools and administered a set of self-report questionnaires. Descriptive and regression analyses were used to look for specific relationships and predictors of NSSI and suicide ideation in this isolated community.Results: Approximately 30% of youths reported at least one NSSI behavior, a rate that is twice as high as most studies carried out in mainland Portugal and in other European countries. Biting oneself was the most frequent form of NSSI, and NSSI behaviors served predominantly automatic reinforcement purposes (i.e., regulation of disruptive emotional states). NSSI and suicide ideation encompassed different distal and proximal risk factors. Conclusions: Exploring and characterizing these phenomena is necessary to provide a better understanding, enhance current conceptualizations, and guide the development of more effective prevention and intervention strategies in youths.

“…They also reported that emotional neglect was more strongly associated with suicidal ideation and self-mutilation than physical abuse or physical neglect. Tanaka et al [22] in a 2-year follow-up study found that low self-compassion, which was associated with emotional abuse and neglect, was significantly related to psychological distress and suicidal behavior.…”

“…Several cross-sectional studies have found that sexual abuse is an independent predictor of suicidality in adolescence/early adulthood even after controlling for the presence of risk factors, such as major depression, hopelessness, and other life adversities [16,17]. There are also longitudinal studies demonstrating a link between physical/sexual abuse and neglect and youth suicidality [18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Some studies also investigated the roles of abuse and neglect relative to other adverse experiences.…”

Suicidal behavior in young people is a significant public health problem. However, it is not yet clear whether adversities (adverse life events) may be related to suicidality in adolescence and early adulthood. This paper aimed to investigate systematically the association between the type/number of adverse life events and experiences and suicidal behavior in young people. We developed a detailed strategy to search relevant articles in Pubmed, Scopus, PsycInfo, and Science Direct (January 1980-January 2015) about adverse life events and suicidal behavior. Adverse life events and experiences included maltreatment and violence, loss events, intra-familial problems, school and interpersonal problems. Studies were restricted to suicidal behavior in young people aged 10-25 years. The search yielded 245 articles, of which 28 met our inclusion criteria. Most studies reported a strong association between adversities and suicidality (both suicidal ideation and attempts). Based on the main results, the number of adversities or negative life events experienced seemed to have a positive dose-response relationship with youth suicidal behavior. However, the type of event experienced also appeared to matter: one of the most consistent findings was the association between suicidal behavior and experience of sexual abuse. More prospective studies are needed to elucidate the relative importance of risk accumulation and risk specificity for youth suicide.

“…Compared to their nonmaltreated peers, maltreated children have an increased risk of poor physical health (Hussey, Chang, & Kotch, 2006;Lanier, Jonson-Reid, Stahlschmidt, Drake, & Constantino, 2010;Rogosch, Dackis, & Cicchetti, 2011), mental health (Springer, Sheridan, Kuo, & Carnes, 2007;Tanaka, Wekerle, Schmuck, & Paglia-Boak, 2011), and behavioral health (Haugaard, 2004;Topitzes, Mersky, & Reynolds, 2010) outcomes. Furthermore, child abuse and neglect is associated with fewer educational and economic achievements (Casanueva, Dolan, Smith, Ringeisen, & Dowd, 2012; as well as delinquency and crime (Currie & Tekin, 2012;Mersky & Reynolds, 2007).…”

Objectives: The current article describes the process evaluation of a social early warning system (SEWS) for the prevention of child maltreatment in the federal state of Hamburg. This prevention initiative targets expectant mothers and their partners including an initial screening of risk factors for child maltreatment, a subsequent structured clearing interview further exploring risks and identifying protective factors and an optional referral to the regional health and social care system. Method: The process evaluation was conducted by examining the flow of participants through the different stages of the SEWS as well as asking social education workers, parents, and regional institutions about their satisfaction with the process of the SEWS. Results: The participation rate throughout the SEWS as well as the satisfaction rates were high. Conclusions: The SEWS is a secondary prevention initiative with a substantial difference to other early prevention initiatives, as it aims to facilitate intervention rather than providing it.
