美国疾控中心发布骇人报告：过去一年美国接近四分之一少女曾计划自杀
美国疾病预防控制中心（U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention）周一发布了一份骇人听闻的报告称，过去一个月，美国接近三分之一少女曾饮用酒精饮料；过去一年，接近四分之一少女曾计划自杀。
每十年发布一次的青少年风险行为调查对LGBQ+青少年的调查结果同样可怕甚至更加恐怖。少女和LGBQ+青少年在几乎各个指标上的表现，包括滥用物质、暴力遭遇和影响心理健康与性健康的因素等，都比异性恋少男更差。
美国疾控中心青春期和学校健康处主任凯瑟琳·伊赛尔周一对记者表示：“少女承受了严重的暴力和创伤，这些经历正在影响她们的心理健康。”
报告的作者表示，少女和LGBQ+青少年与异性恋少男之间的差异“明显”。过去一年，有约五分之一少女和LGBQ+青少年曾遭遇性暴力，而少男的比例只有5%。过去一年，接近60%的少女和接近70%的LGBQ+青少年经历过“持续的悲伤感或无助感”，而少男的比例不到三分之一。
认定为LGBQ+身份或者曾有过同性伴侣的青少年，比异性恋青少年更有可能存在滥用物质的行为，包括非法毒品、阿片类处方药物、酒精、大麻和电子烟等。而且这个群体也“明显”更有可能成为暴力行为的受害者。
这份报告梳理了2011年至2021年的趋势，也发现了一些亮点。高风险性行为和滥用物质的比例整体持续下降，校园霸凌比率也呈现下降趋势。
但作者写道：“很可惜，报告中几乎所有身心健康指标，包括有保护性行为、暴力遭遇、心理健康，以及自杀想法与行为等，却在严重恶化。”
作者写道：“我们发现在新冠疫情之前的10年间，学生的整体心理健康状况持续恶化。”他们还表示，超过40%的高中生经历过悲伤或无助，导致他们在之前一年至少有两周无法正常学习，而这可能是抑郁的前兆。
总体而言，报告显示，与之前十年相比，有更多学生由于安全原因选择不去上学，男性报告遭到电子霸凌的比例提高。该报告于2021年秋收集数据，首次研究受疫情影响的数据。
报告的作者表示：“虽然在收集数据时大多数学校已经恢复线下授课，但许多学生在校外的时间影响了”调查的多个主题，例如心理健康等。他们指出在调查期间，“学生在日常生活中受到影响的情况依旧普遍存在”。（财富中文网）

Nearly a third of teen girls drank alcohol during the past month, and nearly a quarter made a suicide plan in the past year, according to a shocking report published Monday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The Youth Risk Behavior Survey, released each decade, painted an equally grim, if not darker, picture for LGBQ+ teens. Along with teen girls, they fared more poorly than heterosexual males on nearly every metric examined, including substance abuse, experiences of violence, and factors impacting mental and sexual health.
“Our teenage girls are suffering through an overwhelming wave of violence and trauma, and it’s affecting their mental health,” Kathleen Ethier, director of the CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health, told reporters Monday.
The authors called the differences between female and LGBQ+ teens, and heterosexual teen males, “stark.” While around a fifth of female and LGBQ+ teens experienced sexual violence in the past year, only 5% of males had. And while nearly 60% of female teens and nearly 70% of LGBQ+ teens had experienced “persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness” during the past year, less than a third of males had.
Teens who identify as LGBQ+ or who have ever had a same-sex partner were more likely than their heterosexual counterparts to have misused substances, including illicit drugs, prescription opioids, alcohol, marijuana, and vapes. They were also “significantly” more likely to be a victim of violence in general.
There were some bright spots in the report, however, which examined trends from 2011 through 2021. Rates of risky sexual behavior and substance use are continuing to drop overall, and rates of school bullying are also on the decline.
But “unfortunately, almost all other indicators of health and well-being in this report, including protective sexual behaviors, experiences of violence, mental health, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors, worsened significantly,” the authors note.
“As we saw in the 10 years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health among students overall continues to worsen,” the authors wrote, adding that more than 40% of high school student surveyed suffered sadness or hopelessness that prevented them from functioning normally for at least two weeks in the year prior—a potential indicator of depression.
Overall, more students are opting not to go to school due to safety concerns, and males are reporting greater rates of electronic bullying, when compared to the decade prior according to the report—the first of its kind to look at pandemic-impacted data, collected in the fall of 2021.
“Although most schools had returned to in-person induction by that time, the time spent out of school for many students may have impacted” topics participants were surveyed on like mental health, the authors state, noting that “disruptions in daily life also remained common” when the surveys were administered.
