abstract="OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between school-level poverty status and students' persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, suicidality, and  experiences with violence victimization among U.S. high school students. <br><br>METHODS:  Public schools captured in the 2015 and 2017 national Youth Risk Behavior Surveys  were categorized as high-, mid-, or low-poverty based on the percentage of students  eligible for free or reduced-price meals (N=29,448). <br><br>RESULTS: Students in  high-poverty schools were significantly more likely than students in low-poverty  schools to experience persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, experience  suicidal thoughts and attempts, not go to school because of safety concerns, be  threatened or injured with a weapon on school property, be bullied on school  property, be physically forced to have sexual intercourse, and be victims of sexual  and physical dating violence. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: School and community approaches to  address suicide and violence victimization may be especially important for students  living in poverty.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
