Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study seeks to examine relationships with drug experience, drinking behavior, on suicide ideation and attempt among adolescents from multi-cultural families in Korea.
Methods: The 2014 Korean Youth Health Risk Behavior Survey, a nationwide dataset collected by the Korean Center for Disease Control, was used for analyses. Only 653 adolescents from multi-cultural families were selected for this analysis.
Results: Among adolescents from multi-cultural families, 13.3% reported suicidal ideation and 5.4% had attempted suicide. The rate of monthly smokers and drinkers were 7.9% and 13.9%, respectively. The prevalence of the problem drinking (defined as 2 or more points in the CRAFFT) among current drinkers was 6.46%. Youths who had drug experience had higher risk of having suicidal ideation (odds ratio=6.81) and attempting suicide (odds ratio=16.1). Those identified as problem drinkers had higher risk of having suicidal ideation (odds ratio=3.28) and having had attempted suicide (odds ratio=6.81).
Conclusion: This study confirmed the previous research regarding the relationship between drug experience, problematic alcohol behaviors and suicide thoughts and attempts. Intervention and prevention efforts for adolescents from multi-cultural families should integrate risk factors such as drug or alcohol problems.
