Suicidal behaviors are relatively common among children, yet literature concerning the associated risks remains limited. Using a cumulative risk model, this study examined the effects of disability status, suspensions/expulsions, school disconnectedness, and negative peer relationships on suicidal behaviors. Data used were from The Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study, which yielded an analytic sample ( N = 2,463) that was majority male (52%), Black and Hispanic (81%), and with an average age of 9.3 years. Using multivariate logistic regression with subgroup analysis, negative peer relationships and being male were associated with suicidal ideation in children without a history of suspension/expulsion. On the contrary, children with a history of suspension/expulsion and a disability status had three times higher odds of suicidal ideation in comparison to children with no disability status. These findings have important research and practical implications, which are discussed.

有和没有停学/开除史的儿童的残疾状况和早期自杀风险


自杀行为在儿童中相对常见，但关于相关风险的文献仍然有限。本研究使用累积风险模型，检查了残疾状况、停学/开除、学校脱节和消极同伴关系对自杀行为的影响。使用的数据来自家庭和儿童福祉的未来研究，该研究产生了一个分析样本 （N = 2,463），其中大多数是男性 （52%）、黑人和西班牙裔 （81%），平均年龄为 9.3 岁。使用多变量 logistic 回归和亚组分析，消极的同伴关系和男性与无停学/开除史的儿童的自杀意念相关。相反，与没有残疾状况的儿童相比，有停学/开除史和残疾状况的儿童自杀意念的几率高出三倍。这些发现具有重要的研究和实际意义，对此进行了讨论。
