Specific effects of distinct types of adverse childhood experiences on the co-occurrence of non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal behaviors among Chinese adolescents: a latent class analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are well-established risk factors for both non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicidal behaviors (SBs). Actually, NSSI and SBs often co-occur among adolescents. This study aims to examine the specific effects of ACE types on the co-occurrence of NSSI and three stages of SBs in Chinese adolescents, as well as potential gender differences.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted in Chongqing, China. From April to May 2024. A total of 5,143 junior high school students were recruited through stratified cluster sampling. Information was collected through a self-reported questionnaire. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to identify the co-occurrence patterns of NSSI and SBs. Multinomial logistic regression was employed to ex
