In one sample of South African rural youth, the prevalence of physical and sexual abuse was shown to be very high with 94.4 % of men exposed to physical abuse and 39.1 % of women to sexual abuse.46 More than a quarter of the adults who were interviewed endorsed exposure to childhood adversity (parental death, parental separation or parental divorce) in the SASH study.47 Significantly more women were prone to be victims of domestic violence than men.47 Women also reported twice as many suicidal attempts as the male participants in the SASH study.9

Similar to findings from SASH, childhood sexual abuse emerged as a particularly robust risk factor for suicide attempts in younger participants in the WMHS cross-national analysis, with a 10.9 times higher OR of suicide attempts in children, a 6.1 times higher likelihood in adolescents and a 2.9-fold risk in young adults who were exposed.20 This is in keeping with the Enns hypothesis that sexual abuse results in suicidal behaviour at a younger age.21 Consistent with other studies, childhood physical and sexual abuse, in particular, emerged as risk factors for the emergence and persistence of suicidal behaviour, especially in adolescence.
