“…In particular, prospective studies of commonly occurring correlates, such as early cannabis use, should be prioritized. NSSI can rapidly progress to suicidal intent and attempts (Hamza et al, 2012), and because early cannabis use has previously been linked to suicidal thoughts and behaviors (Swahn et al, 2012), understanding the links between early cannabis use and NSSI may provide clues regarding these subsequent relationships with suicide as well.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Cannabis use, particularly at an early age, has been linked to suicidal thoughts and behavior, but minimal work has examined the association between cannabis use and lifetime nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). The current study aims to characterize the overlap between lifetime and early cannabis use and NSSI and to examine genetic and environmental mechanisms of this association. Method: Adult male and female twins from the Australian Twin Registry (N = 9,583) were used to examine the odds of NSSI associated with lifetime cannabis use and early cannabis use (i.e., <17 years of age). These associations were also examined within monozygotic (MZ) twins discordant for cannabis use and MZ twins discordant for early cannabis use. Analyses were replicated in an independent sample of female twins (n = 3,787) accounting for the age at onset of cannabis use and NSSI. Conclusions:Results suggest that NSSI is associated with cannabis involvement via differing mechanisms. For lifetime cannabis use, the lack of association in discordant pairs suggests the role of shared genes and family environment. However, in addition to such shared familial influences, person-specific and putatively causal factors contribute to the relationship between early cannabis use and NSSI. Therefore, delaying the onset of cannabis use may reduce exposure to influences that exacerbate vulnerabilities to NSSI. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 77, 873-880, 2016)

“…Written informed consent was obtained from the parents. In contrast to national studies (Hibell et al, 2004;Legleye et al, 2011;Mayet et al, 2011;Swanh et al, 2012) this investigation focused on a population from an urban area so that the subjects were in the same socioeconomic context, free of variations across geographical regions.…”

“…The 1st item was extracted from the Kandel depressive symptoms scale (Brunnet et al, 2014;Kandel and Davies, 1982;Swanh et al, 2012): 'Have you had trouble going to sleep or staying asleep?' (responses: often or very often/none or rarely).…”

“…Early adolescence (10-16 years) is a period of transition from the total social/economic dependence to relative independence with more contacts/exchanges with others and more access to drug use. It corresponds to the mean age of onset of sleep difficulty as well as school, behaviour and health-related difficulties (such as poor health status, poor psychological health, obesity, and drug use) (Chau et al, , 2014Dishion et al, 2010;Mayet et al, 2011;Swanh et al, 2012). The confounding role of these difficulties in the association of sleep difficulty with single and repeated school and out-of school injuries deserves to be investigated.…”

“…We focused on early adolescence because these issues are common in this period (Dishion et al, 2010;Hibell et al, 2004;Swanh et al, 2012), most factors (except socioeconomic features) are modifiable for prevention, and various problems should be solved at an early age (via early assessment, appropriate treatment and monitoring).…”

Social and individual risk factors for suicide ideation among Chinese children and adolescents: A multilevel analysis

The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence and predictors of suicide ideation among primary, middle and high school students. We used multilevel modelling to investigate suicide ideation among 12,733 Chinese children and adolescents aged 9-18 years from wide range of areas across China. Approximately, 32.09% of children and adolescents reported suicide ideation, with females were more likely to report suicide ideation than males (38.09% vs. 29.95%). Our results showed that the risk factors in primary school students were different from middle and high school student groups, whereas significant risk factors for middle and high school students were similar. The city's standard of living as indicated by the Engel coefficient and the city's divorce rate were positively associated with the prevalence of suicide ideation; in contrast, the school's pupil-to-teacher ratio was negatively correlated with elevated suicide ideation. Significant risk factors for suicide ideation included study anxiety, self-accusation tendency, impulsive tendency, terror tendency and physical symptoms. These results have important implications for the prevention of suicide, suggesting that both contextual (city-level) and compositional (individual-level) factors could be important targets for prevention and intervention for children and adolescents at risk of suicide ideation.
