The Associations between Peer and Parental Relationships and Suicidal Behaviours in Early Adolescents
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: To investigate associations between suicidal behaviours, including suicidal ideation and attempts, and poor peer and parental relationships in a nationally representative sample of Canadian adolescents aged 12 to 13 years. Methods: We used Statistics Canada's National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth as the dataset. This cross-sectional sample included 1049 girls and 1041 boys aged 12 to 13 years. We obtained answers to self-report questionnaires that included measures of peer relationships, parental nurturance, and parental rejection, as well as information regarding suicidal ideation and attempts. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models were used for the analysis. We included depression in the multiple logistic regression analysis. Analyses were run separately for boys and girls. Results: The unadjusted logistic regression models found that, among early adolescent boys and girls, depression, poor peer relationships, decreased parental nurturance, and increased parental rejection were all significantly associated with suicidal ideation and attempts. However, after adjusting for all other variables in the multiple logistic regression models, poor peer relationships were no longer significantly associated with suicidal ideation among early adolescent boys and were only weakly associated among early adolescent girls. Conclusions: Poor parental relationships and depression were more powerfully associated with suicidal ideation and attempts than were peer relationships in a nationally representative sample of boys and girls aged 12 to 13 years, and these factors may be important early intervention targets. Objectif: Rechercher les associations entre les comportements suicidaires, y compris l'idéation et les tentatives de suicide, et les relations médiocres avec pairs et parents dans un échantillon représentatif d'adolescents canadiens de 12 à 13 ans. Méthodes: Nous avons utilisé les données de l'Enquête longitudinale nationale sur les enfants et les jeunes (ELNEJ) de Statistique Canada. Cet échantillon transversal comprenait 1 049 filles et 1 041 garçons de 12 à 13 ans. Nous avons obtenu des réponses aux questionnaires d'autodéclaration incluant des mesures des relations avec les pairs, du soutien des parents et du rejet des parents, ainsi que de l'information sur l'idéation et les tentatives de suicide. Des modèles de régression logistique non corrigés et corrigés ont servi à l'analyse. Nous avons inclus la dépression dans l'analyse multiple de régression logistique. Les analyses ont été exécutées séparément pour les filles et les garçons. Résultats: Les modèles non corrigés de régression logistique ont souligné que, chez les filles et les garçons, la dépression, les relations médiocres avec les pairs, le soutien diminué des parents, et le rejet accru des parents étaient tous associés avec l'idéation et les tentatives de suicide. Cependant, après correction de toutes les autres variables des modèles de régression logistique multiple, les relations médiocres avec les pairs n'étaient plus significativement associées à l'idéation suicidaire chez les garçons et ne l'étaient que faiblement chez les filles. Conclusions: Les relations médiocres avec les parents et la dépression étaient plus fortement associées avec l'idéation et les tentatives de suicide que les relations avec les pairs dans un échantillon national représentatif de garçons et de filles de 12 à 13 ans, et ces facteurs peuvent être des cibles importantes pour une intervention précoce.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
