title: Interpersonal violence victimization and suicidal ideation. An examination in criminal offenders.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Offenders are at elevated risk for interpersonal violence victimization (IVV), which is a risk factor for suicide-related outcomes in some populations, suggesting the importance of examining risk associated with IVV in offenders.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The present study examined the association between IVV and suicidal ideation (SI) among criminal offenders in a pretrial jail diversion program in the United States.
  
  
  METHODS
  266 offenders were screened for ten common Axis I psychiatric disorders along with current SI and past-year IVV.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Past-year IVV was significantly associated with current SI, and the association remained significant after adjusting for symptoms of ten Axis I psychiatric disorders, respectively and simultaneously. Gender did not moderate the IVV-SI association.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The findings support a connection between IVV and SI in criminal offenders.
