“…Fifty percent of all the people who have been raped are under the age of 18 and 16% are under the age of 12. 23 Studies conducted in different parts of the world suggest that between 7% and 36% of girls and between 3% and 29% of boys have already suffered childhood sexual abuse. 7 Children and adolescents were harassed by various forms of violence, with the use of corporal strength, verbal threat and weapons, resulting in the occurrence of several body injuries, with approximately 35% of the children being hospitalized and 15% evolving to death.…”

Objective: to verify the association between victims of sexual violence and the sociodemographic aspects related to exposure in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Method: an ecological study, where the database of the Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação, SINAN provided by the Minas Gerais State Health Department was used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, and Multiple Correspondence Factor Analysis (p≤0.05). Results: stepfathers were the predominant offenders, associated with schooling from 0 to 4th grade, brown-skinned ethnicity, and the residence as place of occurrence. When the offender was the father, there was association with an unknown place of occurrence, followed by the residence, abuse of male children between 0 and 9 years old, and living in municipalities from 200 to 500 thousand inhabitants. Stranger aggressors were associated with white female victims aged 15 years old or over, schooling between 5th grade and higher education, single act of sexual violence, in which physical violence was used and occurrence on public roads. Conclusion: sexual violence affects mainly women and children, the former being attacked on public roads and the latter in their own home environment by a known offender.

Background College students are a worldwide increasing group of young people at risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviours (STB). However, no previous studies have prospectively investigated the first onset of STB during the college period. Methods Using longitudinal data from the Leuven College Surveys, 2,337 (response rate [RR]=66.6%) incoming freshmen provided baseline data on STB, parental psychopathology, childhood-adolescent traumatic experiences, 12-month risk for mental disorders, and 12-month stressful experiences. A total of 1,253 baseline respondents provided data on 12-month STB in a two-year annual follow-up survey (conditional RR=53.6%; college dropout adjusted conditional RR=70.2%). Results One-year incidence of first-onset STB was 4.6–6.4%. Effect sizes of the included risk factors varied considerably whether viewed from individual-level (ORs 1.91–17.58) or population-level perspective (PARPs 3.4–34.3%). Dating violence prior to the age of 17, physical abuse prior to the age of 17, and 12-month betrayal by someone else than the partner were most strong predictors for first-onset suicidal ideation (ORs=4.23–12.25; PARPs=8.7–27.1%) and plans (ORs=6.57–17.58; PARPs=15.2–34.3%). Multivariate prediction (AUC=.84–.91) revealed that 50.7–65.7% of first-onset STB cases were concentrated in the 10% at highest predicted risk. Limitations As this is a first investigation of STB onset in college, future studies should use validation samples to test the accuracy of our multivariate prediction model. Conclusions The first onset of STB in college appears to be higher than in the general population. Screening at college entrance is a promising strategy to identify those students at highest prospective risk, enabling the cost-efficient clinical assessment of young adults in college.

OBJECTIVE The primary aims are to: (a) identify patterns of suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB) during college among students with lifetime pre-matriculation STB and (b) develop a risk-screening algorithm for persistence of pre-matriculation STB during college. METHODS Data come from the Leuven College Surveys, a series of prospective cohort studies of all incoming KU Leuven University freshmen. In the academic year 2012 and 2013, 4,889 incoming freshmen (73.2% response rate) provided baseline data on socio-demographic variables, childhood-adolescent traumatic experiences, 12-month stressful experiences, 12-month mental disorders, 12-month STB, and severity markers of pre-matriculation STB. A total of 2,566 students (69.3% conditional response rate) participated in 12- and 24-month follow-up surveys during the first two college years. RESULTS Thirteen percent (weighted n=535) of incoming freshmen reported lifetime pre-matriculation STB. Of those, 28.0% reported 12-month STB in one follow-up assessment and another 27.7% in both follow-up assessments. High persistence of STB (i.e., 12-month STB in two follow-up assessments) was most strongly associated with severity markers of pre-matriculation STB, with odds ratios in the 2.4–10.3 range and population attributable risk proportions between 9.2% and 50.8%. When aiming for less than 50% of false positive cases (PPV=54.4%), a multivariate predictive risk algorithm (cross-validated AUC=0.79) situated 59.9% of highly persistent cases among the 30% respondents with highest baseline predicted risk. CONCLUSION An individualized web-based screening approach is a promising strategy to identify students at the onset of university who may be at high risk for STB persistence during their academic career.
