Cybervictimization in adolescence and its association with subsequent suicidal ideation/attempt beyond face-to-face victimization: A longitudinal population-based study
Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry Feb 07, 2020
Perret LC, Orri M, Boivin M, et al. - Given the documentation of cross-sectional associations between cybervictimization and suicidal risk, researchers sought to ascertain the associations prospectively. From the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development, they assessed a prospective birth cohort of 2,120 individuals followed from birth (1997/98) to age 17 years (2014/15). At ages 13, 15 and 17 years, self-reporting was done concerning cybervictimization and face-to-face victimization experienced since the beginning of the school year, as well as concerning serious suicidal ideation and/or suicide attempt. After adjusting for confounders including face-to-face victimization, prior mental health symptoms, and family hardship, adolescents cybervictimized at least once had 2.3, 4.2 and 3.5 higher odds of suicidal ideation/attempt in cross-sectional analyses at 13, 15 and 17 years, respectively. The prospective association was absent indicating the short-term impacts of cybervictimization on suicidal ideation/attempt.
