Multiple trajectories of family adversity and poverty and adolescent self-harm and suicide attempts: findings from the UK Millennium Cohort Study

Children growing up with persistent exposure to family adversities and poverty are more likely to harm themselves and attempt suicide, particularly those who experience the combination of persistent poverty and long-term poor parental mental health. Early detection of children at risk and intervention such as anti-poverty approaches to prevent long-lasting adversities are key to alleviating risky behaviours in UK adolescents.

Abstract

Children growing up with persistent exposure to family adversities and poverty are more likely to harm themselves and attempt suicide, particularly those who experience the combination of persistent poverty and long-term poor parental mental health. Early detection of children at risk and intervention such as anti-poverty approaches to prevent long-lasting adversities are key to alleviating risky behaviours in UK adolescents.
