Abstract

The current study assessed associations between negative experiences with police and self-directed violence (SDV) among a United States (US) sample of Black young adults ages 18-29 reporting lifetime police stops. Data come from the "INtervening on Self-Harm and Policing to Increase Racial Equity" (INSPIRE) survey (N = 672) and were collected between December 2023 and March 2024. This high-risk sample exhibited elevated rates of self-harm ideation or NSSI (27.23%) and attempted suicide (48.22%). Findings also revealed that, net of covariates, both police discrimination and arrest increased the relative risk of self-harm or NSSI by 257% and 242%, respectively. These police experiences also significantly increased the risk of attempted suicide. When examining specific forms of police discrimination, discrimination by race, immigration status, and sexual orientation emerged as significant predictors of one or more SDV outcomes. Results signal a need for SDV screenings among Black young adults with a history of negative experiences with police discrimination and arrest in the US.

有负面警察经历的黑人青年的自我导向暴力。

目前的研究评估了与警察的负面经历与自我导向暴力（SDV）之间的联系，研究对象是美国18-29岁的黑人青年，他们报告了一生被警察拦截的经历。数据来自“干预自残和警务以增加种族平等”（INSPIRE）调查（N = 672），收集于2023年12月至2024年3月。这些高危人群的自残意念或自伤发生率（27.23%）和自杀未遂发生率（48.22%）均有所上升。调查结果还显示，除去协变量，警察歧视和逮捕都使自残或自伤的相对风险分别增加了257%和242%。这些警察经历也显著增加了自杀未遂的风险。在研究特定形式的警察歧视时，种族歧视、移民身份歧视和性取向歧视成为一种或多种SDV结果的重要预测因素。结果表明，在美国有过警察歧视和逮捕负面经历的黑人年轻成年人中，有必要进行SDV筛查。

期刊介绍： Community Mental Health Journal focuses on the needs of people experiencing serious forms of psychological distress, as well as the structures established to address those needs. Areas of particular interest include critical examination of current paradigms of diagnosis and treatment, socio-structural determinants of mental health, social hierarchies within the public mental health systems, and the intersection of public mental health programs and social/racial justice and health equity. While this is the journal of the American Association for Community Psychiatry, we welcome manuscripts reflecting research from a range of disciplines on recovery-oriented services, public health policy, clinical delivery systems, advocacy, and emerging and innovative practices.
