| Popis: | Purpose This study examined prevalence of self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) in transgender individuals with eating disorders, as compared to cisgender individuals with eating disorders and transgender individuals without eating disorders. Methods Data were analyzed from 365,749 individuals (median age 21 years, 71.8% White/Caucasian, 34.9% male, 64.9% female, and 0.2% transgender) who participated in American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment, an annual national assessment of college student health, from 2008 to 2011. Results Rates of past-year nonsuicidal self-injury, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts were elevated in transgender participants with eating disorders (74.8%, 75.2%, and 74.8%, respectively), as compared to cisgender participants with eating disorders and transgender participants without eating disorders. Follow-up logistic regression analyses indicated these differences were statistically significant above and beyond the effects of demographic variables and depression. Conclusions Results found extremely high rates of SITBs in transgender individuals with eating disorders. This combination of identities, each associated with SITBs, may have a compounding effect. |
