Résumé
Purpose
This study aims to investigate the prospective association between unintentional injuries and subsequent suicidal ideation among children and adolescents.
Methods
This study is a two-wave longitudinal school-based cohort derived from repeated surveys administered in Anhui, China, in November 2023 (Wave 1) and April 2025 (Wave 2). As grade 12 students in Wave 1 would graduate by July 2024 and thus be unavailable for follow-up, we included only students in grades 5-11 from Wave 1. We identified 24,522 students who participated in both waves, yielding a follow-up rate of 84.18% (47.08% female).
