Friday, October 25, 2024
1:45 PM – 2:15 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Poster 11A
Utilizing 2021 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (n=17,232), this study examines the effects of physical activity on adolescent suicidal ideation, as mediated by screen time and cyberbullying. Results may inform suicide prevention strategies that promote physical activity and limit screen time, highlighting the risk of cyberbullying and poor mental health.

Learning Objectives:

  1. To evaluate the association between physical activity and suicidal ideation in adolescents, factoring in the mediating effects of screen time and cyberbullying.
  2. To analyze how screen time and cyberbullying may influence the relationship between physical activity and mental health outcomes, such as suicidal thoughts.
  3. To understand the role of physical activity in enhancing adolescents' sense of coherence and resilience against stress and suicidal ideation.
