“…Adolescent victims have also been found to be significantly more likely to seriously consider suicide than nonvictims (ORs 1.7-2.8; Howard & Wang, 2005;Jiang et al, 2010;Rosenberg et al, 2005;Waldrop et al, 2007). In addition, among those reporting a history of suicide attempts, one study found that victims are significantly more likely to report an attempt requiring medical attention than nonvictims (OR 3.4;Jiang et al, 2010). The negative effects of sexual violence on suicide risk are evident among both male and female adolescents.…”

“…Several studies used a sample from a single U.S. state and, thus, the sample utilized was not representative of the U.S. population as a whole, particularly with regard to representation of ethnic minority adolescents (Ackard & Neumark-Sztainer, 2003;Chandy et al, 1996Chandy et al, , 1997Jiang et al, 2010;Olshen et al, 2007;Rosenberg et al, 2005;Shrier et al, 1998). In addition, several studies used data sets that are currently more than 10 years old and, therefore, it is unclear whether there have been any changes in the association between sexual violence and suicidality in recent years (Ackard & Neumark-Sztainer, 2003;Chandy et al, 1996Chandy et al, , 1997Shrier et al, 1998;Vannatta, 1997;Waldrop et al, 2007).…”

“…Two studies also did not distinguish among suicidal ideation, planning, and attempts, although these behaviors clearly vary in their predictors and risk for completed suicide (Ackard & NeumarkSztainer, 2003;Basile et al, 2006). Although individuals with a history of medically serious attempts are at greater risk for future suicide than those with less serious attempts (Beautrais, 2004), only one study examined medically serious suicide attempts (Jiang et al, 2010). In addition, two studies did not examine gender differences in the association between suicidal behavior and sexual violence (Jiang et al, 2010;Waldrop et al, 2007).…”

“…These studies have found that sexual violence victims are between 1.4 and 3.6 times more likely to report a suicide attempt than nonvictims (Howard & Wang, 2005;Jiang, Perry, & Hesser, 2010;Rosenberg et al, 2005;Waldrop et al, 2007). Adolescent victims have also been found to be significantly more likely to seriously consider suicide than nonvictims (ORs 1.7-2.8; Howard & Wang, 2005;Jiang et al, 2010;Rosenberg et al, 2005;Waldrop et al, 2007).

Sexual violence is a potential key risk factor for adolescent suicidal behavior but has not been studied extensively. Thus, the current study examined the extent to which sexual assault predicted suicide attempts among adolescent students in the national Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System survey (2007 data). Gender differences in suicidal behavior overall and among sexual assault victims were examined. The results supported that students with sexual assault histories were significantly more likely (odds ratio [OR]=6.4) to have reported at least one suicide attempt in the past year than students who did not report sexual assault histories. Male students with a sexual assault history reported suicide attempts requiring medical attention more frequently than male attempters without sexual assault histories, as well as both groups of female suicide attempters. Implications of the findings for suicide prevention and intervention programs are discussed.

Self-harm and suicidal ideation in children and adolescents are common and are risk factors for completed suicide. Social exclusion, which can take many forms, increases the risk of self-harm and suicidal ideation. One important marker of social exclusion in young people is school absenteeism. Whether school absenteeism is associated with these adverse outcomes, and if so to what extent, remains unclear. To determine the association between school absenteeism and both self-harm (including completed suicide) and suicidal ideation in children and adolescents, we conducted a systematic review of observational studies. We conducted meta-analysis and report a narrative synthesis where this was not possible. Meta-analysis of cross-sectional studies showed that school absenteeism was associated with an increased risk of self-harm [pooled adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.37, 95% confidence interval 1.20–1.57, P = 0.01] and of suicidal ideation (pooled aOR 1.20, 95% CI 1.02–1.42, P = 0.03). A small number of studies showed that school absenteeism had a longitudinal association with both adverse outcomes. Heterogeneity in the exposure and outcome variables, study design and reporting was prominent and limited the extent to which it was appropriate to pool results. School absenteeism was associated with both self-harm and suicidal ideation in young people, but this evidence was derived from a small number of cross-sectional studies. Further research into the mechanisms of this association could help to inform self-harm and suicide prevention strategies at clinical, school and population levels.
