Abstract

Background and objectives: The purpose of this research is to investigate associations between police contact, non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), and suicidal ideation (SI) among a national sample of Canadian adolescents and young adults (ages 16-30).

Methods: Data used in this study were obtained from the Canadian Study of Adolescent Health Behaviors (N = 940), a national survey of Canadians ages 16-30.

Results: Police contact was associated with higher odds of NSSI (OR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.37, 2.86). Those who reported police contact with intrusion (OR = 2.39, 95% CI = 1.49, 3.38) and police contact with harassment (OR = 3.98, 95% CI = 2.30, 6.88) had higher odds of NSSI relative to respondents with no contact. Finally, any police contact was associated with higher odds of SI (OR = 1.56, 95% CI = 1.04, 2.34) and respondents experiencing police stops with harassment had higher odds of SI compared to those who had never been stopped (OR = 2.48, 95% CI = 1.45, 4.24).

Conclusions: Distressing police contact heightens the risk of NSSI and SI among young people. Rigorous evaluation of trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate strategies for identifying and intervening on NSSI and SI following adverse police encounters should be prioritized.

接触警察、非自杀性自伤和自杀意念：加拿大青少年全国抽样调查结果。

背景和目的：本研究旨在调查加拿大青少年和年轻成年人（16-30 岁）全国样本中与警察接触、非自杀性自伤（NSSI）和自杀意念（SI）之间的关联：本研究使用的数据来自加拿大青少年健康行为研究（N = 940），这是一项针对 16-30 岁加拿大人的全国性调查：结果：与警察接触与较高的 NSSI 发生率相关（OR = 1.98，95% CI = 1.37，2.86）。与没有接触过警察的受访者相比，那些报告接触过警察并被侵入（OR = 2.39，95% CI = 1.49，3.38）和接触过警察并被骚扰（OR = 3.98，95% CI = 2.30，6.88）的受访者发生 NSSI 的几率更高。最后，与警察的任何接触都与较高的 SI 发生几率相关（OR = 1.56，95% CI = 1.04，2.34），与从未被警察拦截过的受访者相比，被警察拦截并受到骚扰的受访者发生 SI 的几率更高（OR = 2.48，95% CI = 1.45，4.24）：令人不安的警察接触会增加青少年发生 NSSI 和 SI 的风险。应优先考虑对以创伤为基础、适合发展的策略进行严格评估，以识别和干预不良警察接触后的 NSSI 和 SI。
