In order to consider this, I contemplated Belik et al.'s study, "Relation Between Traumatic Events and Suicide Attempts in Canadian Military Personnel." In this article, the authors' purpose wanted to "determine whether exposure to particular types of traumatic events was associated with suicide attempts in a representatives ample of active military personnel" (Beilik et al. 93). In order to test the connection between certain traumatic events and suicide attempts, the authors drew data from the Canadian Community Health Survey, which asked respondents to mark whether they had been victims of 28 different traumatic events during their lives. One of these events was child abuse. The survey was representative of such variables including sex, reserve or non-reserve member, rank, and region (Belik et al. 95). Because the interviewers collected the data on a face-to-face basis in private areas, it is likely to be representative of what actually happened in the military members' lives. In order to measure the association between trauma and suicide attempts, the researchers used regression analysis and in concordance of Statistics Canada regulations (Beilik et al. 96). After completing this analysis, the researchers found that "sexual and other interpersonal traumas," which include child abuse, were associated with men and women's suicide attempts (Belik et al. 93).
Thus, this piece of research answered my question regarding what types of psychological issues are faced by the survivors of child abuse, suggesting that they are at a risk for suicide. While this study had the best population and method of collecting data among the three that I examined, it does not completely answer my question, however, because child abuse is just one event in a category entitled "interpersonal trauma."
When viewing my research as a whole, I am stricken by its implications. These articles that child abuse is prevalent, and can lead to some serious trauma when children are both young...
cheap genomic sequencing has widespread and unforeseen cultural, political, and societal implications that have only just begun to reverberate through the human population at large. Genomic sequencing not only reveals some of the causes and connections behind certain diseases or disorders, but also puts the lie to certain forms of bigotry which assumed that dramatic phenotypic differences represented a similarly dramatic genetic or biological difference (put another way, genome

Health Care Reform Since his presidential campaign, President Obama has placed a priority on health care reform. He has consistently restated his intention to increase the public's access to quality health care, reduce overall costs, and improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery. The potential outcome would be public insurance options and new legal requirements for insurance companies. For example, companies would not be able to refuse or discontinue an
International Regulation of Tourism in Antarctica Since the mid-1980s, Antarctica has been an increasingly popular tourist destination, despite the relative danger of visiting the largest, least explored -- and arguably least understood -- continent on earth. Beginning with the 1959 treaty establishing Antarctica as an international zone free of claims of sovereignty by nation's that had been instrumental in establishing research stations there, there has been almost constant negotiation about how
African American Youth with Mental IllnessPart 1: BackgroundObservationThe African American Youth experience unique structural and contextual hurdles as they transition from childhood into early adulthood.
