Psychiatric News (2/7) reported, “Family conflict and low parental supervision are associated with suicidality in children, according to a study published today in JAMA Network Open.” The research showed that “overall, 6.4% of the children had a lifetime history of passive suicidal ideation; 4.4% had nonspecific active suicidal ideation; 2.4% had active ideation with a method, intent, or plan; 1.3% had a past suicide attempts; and 9.1% had a NSSI.”
Healio (2/7) reported that “according to the researchers, little is known about suicidal behaviors and ideation in children,” and “to address this research gap, they assessed the overall prevalence of suicide attempts, suicidal ideation and nonsuicidal self-injury, as well as family-related factors associated with self-injury and suicidality, among 11,814 participants aged 9 to 10 years of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study.”
