El-Khoury F, Puget N, Leon C, et al. - As there is limited data on the correlation of sexual victimization with suicidal ideation from a large sample of general population and further, there is no study that quantifies gender differences in the effect of sexual victimization on suicide risk, researchers utilized data from French Health Barometer, a general population phone survey, to see into this topic. In this survey, 25,319 adults aged 18 to 75 years were recruited in 2017. They here addressed the following three outcomes: (a) suicidal ideation in the preceding year, (b) suicidal imagery (having thought about how to commit suicide), and (c) suicide attempt in the preceding year. Possibility of reporting lifetime sexual violence was nearly five times higher among women (9.1% vs 1.9%) and also the women were at higher risk of any suicidal ideation and suicidal imagery, but not suicide attempts compared with men in the adjusted analysis. Sexual victimization described 49 and 40% of the raised risk women have compared with men in suicidal ideation and suicidal imagery, respectively, in mediation analysis. Findings thereby indicate higher prevalence of sexual violence among women that explains a substantial share of gender differences in suicide risk. These reemphasize the significance of the prevention of sexual violence and adequate care for victims, particularly women, in public health and mental health policies and initiatives.
