Title: | The Relationship Between Suicidal Thinking and Dating Violence in a Sample of Adolescent Abortion Patients | Contributor(s): | Ely, Gretchen E (author); Nugent, William R (author); Cerel, Julie (author); Vimba, Mholi (author) | Publication Date: | 2011 | DOI: | 10.1027/0227-5910/a000082 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/15316 | Abstract: | Background: The relationship between suicidal thinking and adolescent dating violence has not been previously explored in a sample of adolescent abortion patients. Aims: This paper highlights a study where the relationship between dating violence and severity of suicidal thinking was examined in a sample of 120 young women ages 14-21 seeking to terminate an unintended pregnancy. Methods: The Multidimensional Adolescent Assessment Scale and the Conflict in Adolescent Relationships Scale was used to gather information about psychosocial problems and dating violence so that the relationship between the two problems could be examined, while controlling for the other psychosocial problems. Results: The results suggest that dating violence was related to severity of suicidal thinking, and that the magnitude of this relationship was moderated by the severity of problems with aggression. Conclusions: Specifically, as the severity of participant's general problems with aggression increased, the magnitude of the relationship between dating violence and severity of suicidal thinking increased. Limitations of the study and implications for practice are discussed. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Crisis, 32(5), p. 246-253 | Publisher: | Hogrefe Publishing | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 2151-2396 0227-5910 |
