Abstract

We evaluate the association of familial factors and suicidality among transgender adults in the U.S. by estimating the odds of lifetime suicide ideation and attempt using the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey. Predictors include family support, family rejection, and specific experiences related to both. About 79% of sample respondents have experienced suicidal ideation and nearly 43% have made a suicide attempt. The predicted probability of suicide attempt is 0.35 for those with no family rejection experiences, 0.75 for those who have had all five experiences in our models. Rejection ­predicts both outcomes and experiences of rejection have a cumulative impact.

摘要

我们通过使用 2015 年美国跨性别者调查估计终生自杀意念和尝试的几率，评估了美国跨性别成年人中家庭因素与自杀的关联。预测因素包括家庭支持、家庭拒绝以及与两者相关的具体经历。大约 79% 的受访者有过自杀意念，近 43% 的人曾尝试过自杀。对于那些没有家庭拒绝经历的人来说，自杀未遂的预测概率是 0.35，对于有过我们模型中所有五种经历的人来说，自杀企图的预测概率是 0.75。拒绝预示着拒绝的结果和经历都会产生累积影响。
