Bullying Weapons Mental Health Adolescence Suicidal Ideation Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) Using data from the 2007-2017 cycles of the national Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), this researcher aimed to understand how weapons carrying mediates the association between bullying and mental health outcomes. I dichotomized four bullying outcomes to create one new carried a weapon after bullied (CWB) (no/yes; e.g. did not carry a weapon post-bullying vs. did carry a weapon post-bullying) for each bullying type. Mental health outcomes included (all dichotomized, past 2 weeks, no/yes): felt sad or hopeless, seriously considered suicide, had a plan for suicide and attempted suicide. I used descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression adjusted for YRBS sampling methods and weighting (Stata 15.0). Initial results showed that weapons carrying has a complex relationship with mental health after bullying. One notable finding is that individuals who had been in a physical fight were the most likely to carry a weapon (N = 268), followed by those who had been threatened at school (N = 233). Additionally, more students who had been bullied at school (N = 185) carried a weapon than those who were victims of cyberbullying (N = 166). Another interesting result found that across all bullying types, males were 2 to 3 times more likely to carrying a weapon as a result of being bullied. In terms of mental health, being threatened at school was the most significant bullying type in relation to suicidal ideation. 2019-05-23T13:18:08Z 2019-05-23T13:18:08Z 2019-05 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/1805/19440 en_US Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 United States http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/us/ |

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) === Using data from the 2007-2017 cycles of the national Youth Risk Behavior
Survey (YRBS), this researcher aimed to understand how weapons carrying mediates the
association between bullying and mental health outcomes. I dichotomized four bullying
outcomes to create one new carried a weapon after bullied (CWB) (no/yes; e.g. did not
carry a weapon post-bullying vs. did carry a weapon post-bullying) for each bullying
type. Mental health outcomes included (all dichotomized, past 2 weeks, no/yes): felt sad
or hopeless, seriously considered suicide, had a plan for suicide and attempted suicide. I
used descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression adjusted for YRBS sampling
methods and weighting (Stata 15.0).
Initial results showed that weapons carrying has a complex relationship with mental health after bullying. One notable finding is that individuals who had been in a physical fight were the most likely to carry a weapon (N = 268), followed by those who had been threatened at school (N = 233).

In terms of mental health, being threatened at school was the most significant bullying type in relation to suicidal ideation. |
