Suicide risk characteristics of vocational college students: A latent profile analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Guided by the stress-diathesis model, this study employed latent profile analysis to investigate heterogeneity in suicide risk profiles and inform targeted intervention strategies among college vocational students.

Methods

Data were collected from 1,620 vocational college students identified as high-risk for suicide. Validated instruments-including the Adolescent Life Events Scale (ASLEC), Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS)-were used to assess stress factors (negative life events), symptom factors (depression, anxiety, psychosomatic symptoms), diathesis traits (neuroticism, adverse childhood experiences), and protective factors (social support). Latent profile analysis (LPA) was applied to identify distinct risk subgroups.
