Researchers' Work from Tsinghua University Focuses on Anxiety Disorders (The Familial Transmission of Suicide and Non-suicidal Self-injury In Different Income Levels In Town).

A study conducted by researchers from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, examined the familial transmission patterns of suicide and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) across different income levels. The study analyzed data from 13,988 parent-child pairs in Chongqing, China, and found that the transmission of suicide was significant in all income levels except the highest, while the transmission of NSSI was significant in all income levels except the lowest. The study also found that the transmissions primarily occurred among male children, mothers with higher education, and children who spent a long time with their mothers. The transmissions were partially or entirely mediated by children's depression and anxiety symptoms. The researchers concluded that the familial transmissions of suicide and NSSI exhibited distinct patterns across different income levels. [Extracted from the article]
