“…This finding aligns with research demonstrating that social support can limit the physiological arousal and stress reactivity associated with traumatic circumstances and promote resilient functioning [ 121 , 122 ]. Despite the protective effects of strong bonds with teachers, peers, and members of important community groups for ACE-exposed populations [ 85 , 123 , 124 ], support from peers may be insufficient or need to be paired with direct services or additional individual or social assets to mitigate the negative effects of high levels (≥4 HHD) of adversity for PSU and PIU.…”

Background: College students are among the heaviest users of smartphones and the Internet, and there is growing concern regarding problematic Internet (PIU) and smartphone use (PSU). A subset of adverse childhood experiences, household dysfunction [(HHD) e.g.; parental substance use, mental illness, incarceration, suicide, intimate partner violence, separation/divorce, homelessness], are robust predictors of behavioral disorders; however, few studies have investigated the link between HHD and PIU and PSU and potential protective factors, such as social support, among students. Methods: Data are from a diverse California student sample (N = 1027). The Smartphone Addiction Scale—Short Version and Internet Addiction Test assessed dimensions of addiction. Regression models tested associations between students’ level of HHD (No HHD, 1–3 HHD, ≥4 HHD) and PSU and PIU, and the role of extrafamilial social support in these relationships, adjusting for age, gender, ethnicity, SES, employment loss due to COVID-19, and depression. Results: Compared to students reporting no HHD, students with ≥4 HHD had twice the odds (AOR: 2.03, 95% CI: 1.21–3.40) of meeting criteria for PSU, while students with 1–3 HHD and ≥4 HHD had three and six times the odds of moderate to severe PIU (AORs: 2.03–2.46, CI:1.21–3.96) after adjusting for covariates. Extrafamilial social support was inversely associated with PIU and moderated the HHD–PSU association for students with 1–3 HHD. Conclusion: Students exposed to HHD may be especially vulnerable to developing behavioral addictions such as PSU and PIU. Extrafamilial social support offset the negative effects of HHD for PSU among the moderate risk group; implications for prevention efforts are discussed.

“…This is thought to be mediated by factors associated with social exclusion, including a lack of belonging as result of factors such as ethnicity. This suggests a need for children and young people with an incarcerated family member to be better supported in the community to build their resilience (Forster et al, ). Young people who are exposed to a family member who is experiencing suicidal ideation are also at increased risk, so family support is essential during the early years of a child's development (Goodday, Shuldiner, Bondy, & Rhodes, ).…”

Suicide continues to be a major health concern globally despite many initiatives to identify risk factors and methods for suicide prevention. We have carried out a detailed narrative review of the literature from 2016 to 2019 using the headings of Personal resilience (P1), People (P2), Places (P3), Prevention (P4), Promoting collaboration (P5), and Promoting research (P6) in order to support an integrated approach to suicide prevention and the promotion of personal and population resilience. We have made 10 key recommendations on how this can be moved forward.

“…Studies not specific to Hispanic teens, i.e., across all ethnicities, indicated that the support of parents and friends was protective against suicidal ideation and suicidal behaviors [ 6 ]. For Hispanics of both sexes, a strong sense of ethnic identity was protective against suicidal ideation and suicide attempt, and a strong ethnic identity moderated the increased risk of suicidal behaviors associated with having an incarcerated family member [ 28 ]. Strong cultural connections, which seem to correlate with strong mother–daughter relationships, was associated with a reduced risk of suicide attempts for female Hispanics [ 29 ].…”

Suicide is a leading cause of adolescent death and has increased in recent years. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect that relationships with adults at home and in the community had on the probability of suicide attempts of Hispanic teenagers in New Mexico. Data from the 2019 New Mexico Youth Risk and Resiliency Survey were analyzed to identify the ways in which relationships with adults influenced suicide attempts among Hispanic adolescent students. The examined factors included: relationships with adults in the home and in the community and with same-age friends, and participation in hobbies or organizations outside of school. The resiliency factors were similar for male and female Hispanic students. As positive relationships with adults at home or in the community increased, the probability of suicide attempts decreased by 37–54%. Positive relationships with same-age friends were also associated with reduced suicide attempts. Community organization involvement and hobbies affected males and females differently. Adults at home and in the community can decrease the risk of suicide for Hispanic teenagers through supportive relationships. Hybrid programs focusing on adolescent health, positive communication, and academic support, which integrate adults from home and community environments, show promise in reducing suicidal thoughts and other risk behaviors.
