{"title":"Adolescent Dating Violence and Suicide Planning Among Girls in US High Schools: An Intracategorical Intersectional Analysis by Race and Ethnicity.","authors":"Laurel Sharpless,Kiara Alvarez,Trace Kershaw,Tiara C Willie","doi":"10.2105/ajph.2025.308043","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2105/ajph.2025.308043","url":null,"abstract":"Objectives. To examine associations between adolescent dating violence (ADV) and suicide planning among girls and differences by race/ethnicity. Methods. Data were from the 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), a cross-sectional, nationally representative study of 9th- to 12th-grade adolescents from US high schools (n = 3886). We used weighted logistic regression to examine associations between ADV and suicide planning and assess moderation by race/ethnicity. Results. Compared with girls who did not experience any ADV, girls who experienced both physical and sexual ADV had greater odds of making a suicide plan (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 5.35; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.27, 8.74), and the effect size was larger than for experiencing either type of ADV alone. The relationship between sexual ADV and suicide planning was exacerbated for Latina girls (AOR = 6.36; 95% CI = 3.96, 10.19) compared with White girls (AOR = 2.51; 95% CI = 1.45, 4.35). Conclusions. Experiencing any form of ADV increases the odds of suicide planning among girls, with stronger impacts for Latina girls experiencing only sexual ADV. Public Health Implications. Prevention of suicide planning for Latina girls who experience sexual ADV may be strengthened by integrating contextually tailored suicide prevention into prevention programs addressing healthy relationships and prevention of sexual violence.

For total counts, we used multiple imputation by chained equations to develop robust agency-level estimates and address missingness from multiple data sets. <b>Results.</b> State and local public health agencies grew to approximately 239 000 staff in 2022, up from an estimated 206 500 in 2019. The largest occupation groups included office and administrative support workers (37 576) and public health or community health nurses (29 387).
