Objectives. To determine if there is a relationship between binge drinking and risky sexual behavior in Vermont high schoolers.
Methods. We used data from the 2019 Vermont Youth Risk Behavior Survey, a survey administered every other year in high schools across Vermont asking students questions about various habits and behaviors. We used binary logistic regression to determine the association between binge drinking in the past 30 days and condom usage at last sexual intercourse.
Results. Binge drinking within the past 30 days was found to have increased odds of students not using a condom during intercourse (OR=0.782) when adjusting …

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of suicidal ideation (SI) and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among Vermont high schoolers and examine their relationship with health-behavior and demographic variables.
Methods: We used responses to the 2019 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance survey from Vermont high schoolers (n = 18 613) to perform bivariate logistic regression analyses of variables thought to predict SI and NSSI.
Results: In 2019, 14.8% of Vermont high schoolers reported SI in the past year, and 18.9% reported NSSI. Lower grade level, LGBT identity, self-perception as over- or underweight, being bullied, alcohol use, smoking, and …

Objectives. To explore the association between non-suicidal self-harm (also known as non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI)) in adolescents in Vermont identifying as transgender and relationships with approachable adults at school.
Methods. Responses of self-reported self-harm in adolescents identifying as transgender and the ability to confide in an approachable adult or teacher at school were obtained from the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) (n=18,613). Analysis was conducted using a binary logistic regression at a 95% confidence interval (CI) for the odds ratio (OR) and a best selection process.
Results. Students who identify as transgender and had self-harmed in the past 12 months …

Objective: To examine the association between the use of electronic vapor products (e-cigarettes) and suicidal ideation.
Methods: This study explored the association between e-cigarettes usage and suicidal ideation among 16,733 Vermont high school respondents of the 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). Bivariate logistic regression was used to predict the odds of suicidal ideation with current electronic vapor product (EVP) use as the main predictor while controlling for current cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana use, age, gender, sexual orientation, and a history of bullying or sexual violence.
Results: The odds of suicidal ideation are 5.86% lower for students using EVPs than …

Purpose: Sexual assault and sexual minority are known risk factors for suicidality in adolescents. This study identifies the association between sexual assault and sexual orientation in order to better predict and direct resources to teens at high-risk for suicide.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study utilizing the Vermont Youth Risk Behavior Survey data from 2015. Logistic regression was used to correlate risk based on sexual assault and sexual orientation.
Results: 34.9% who were sexually assaulted attempted suicide compared to 4.0% of students who were not assaulted. 21.3% of LGB or unsure students attempted compared to 3.9% of straight youth. …
