Abstract

Introduction: Research has documented substantial proportions of inconsistent suicidality reporters among adolescents; their profile, however, remains unclear.

Objective: This study estimated the prevalence and correlates of inconsistent reporting.

Methods: Data were drawn from a nationally representative sample of 7,130 secondary-school students surveyed in 2022. Items assessing suicidal ideation, suicide planning, suicide attempt, and post-attempt medical treatment were used to detect contradictory response patterns. Inconsistent reporting was regressed on several sociodemographic, health, and behavioral factors to pinpoint its potential correlates.

Results & conclusions: Inconsistent reporters represented 15.8% of the study sample. Correlates varied across specific response patterns. The study findings pointed to two broad groups of inconsistent reporters, suggesting differing underlying factors such as hasty reading or mischievousness. Inconsistent reporting is a widespread and multifaceted phenomenon that can bias research findings. Addressing it comprehensively should become standard practice.

青少年相互矛盾的自杀报告的模式特异性相关性：一项横断面研究。

研究记录了青少年中不一致的自杀报告者的相当大比例；然而，他们的情况仍不清楚。目的：本研究估计不一致报告的患病率和相关因素。方法：数据来自2022年对全国7130名中学生进行的调查。评估自杀意念、自杀计划、自杀未遂和自杀未遂后医疗的项目被用来检测相互矛盾的反应模式。对几个社会人口、健康和行为因素进行了不一致的报告回归，以确定其潜在的相关性。结果与结论：不一致的报告者占研究样本的15.8%。相关因素因特定的反应模式而异。研究结果指出了两大类不一致的记者，表明了不同的潜在因素，如仓促阅读或恶作剧。不一致的报告是一种广泛而多方面的现象，可能会对研究结果产生偏见。全面解决这一问题应成为标准做法。
