Abstract

Objective: Adolescent suicide is a worsening public health crisis. Amid rising authoritarian policies that disproportionately target minoritized youth, the psychological costs of hyper-surveillance (targeted, punitive monitoring) remain unexamined. This study provides an initial operationalization of perceived hyper-surveillance to examine its relationship with suicide ideation (SI) severity, suicide attempts, and antisocial behavior, beyond the effects of discrimination and violence exposure.

Method: In a cross-sectional study of 476 adolescents (13-17 years; 63% Black; 55% male-identifying) recruited online and in community settings. Hyper-surveillance was operationalized using items from validated measures that captured experiences across community and school settings. Multivariable regression models tested associations between traumatic-stress symptoms, hyper-surveillance, SI severity, suicide attempts, and antisocial behavior. Thematic analysis explored how adolescents believed hyper-surveillance contributed to suicide risk.

Results: Traumatic-stress symptoms and hyper-surveillance were independently associated with increased SI severity and suicide attempts (ps < .001). Hyper-surveillance moderated associations between traumatic-stress symptoms and both SI severity and antisocial behavior. Those with darker skin tones experienced disproportionately more hyper-surveillance independent of antisocial behavior. Over half (58.3%) of adolescents with SI reported that hyper-surveillance contributed to their desire to die; qualitative themes reflected negative affect and beliefs about themselves, others, and the world.

Conclusion: Amid expanding surveillance infrastructure in schools and communities (with known disparities in how these systems operate), these findings provide initial evidence that perceived hyper-surveillance functions as a modifiable risk factor for youth suicide. Clinical assessment of punitive surveillance experiences should be integrated into suicide risk evaluation for adolescents.

知觉高度监视在青少年自杀风险中的作用。

目的：青少年自杀是一种日益恶化的公共卫生危机。随着越来越多的专制政策不成比例地针对少数族裔青年，过度监控（有针对性的惩罚性监控）的心理成本仍未得到检验。除了歧视和暴力暴露的影响外，本研究提供了感知性超监视的初步操作，以研究其与自杀意念（SI）严重程度、自杀企图和反社会行为的关系。方法：在一项横断面研究中，476名青少年（13-17岁，63%为黑人，55%为男性）在网上和社区环境中招募。利用从经过验证的措施中收集的项目，在社区和学校环境中进行超级监测。多变量回归模型检验了创伤应激症状、过度监视、SI严重程度、自杀企图和反社会行为之间的关联。专题分析探讨了青少年如何认为过度监控会增加自杀风险。结果：创伤应激症状和过度监控与SI严重程度的增加和自杀企图独立相关(ps结论：随着学校和社区监控基础设施的扩大（这些系统的运作方式已知存在差异），这些发现提供了初步证据，表明过度监控是青少年自杀的一个可改变的风险因素。惩罚性监视经历的临床评估应纳入青少年自杀风险评估。
