Objective To describe the characteristics of suicides with 15-24 years of age in a national sample and identify risk factors for suicide in comparison with a control group died of injuries. Methods According to the death reports from 23 geographically representative disease surveillance points around the country, the psychiatrists used the psychological autopsy method to interviewed the family members and associates of 88 suicides (cases) and 76 injury deaths (controls) with 15-24 years of age. Results The 88 suicides had a mean of 6 years of education; 59% were women, 88% lived in rural villages, 26% were currently married, 76% had been actively employed or a student prior to the death, 26% had a previous suicide attempt, 14% had a family member with suicidal behavior, 31% had other associates with suicidal behavior, 82% ingested poisons, 50% had a mental illness at the time of death, and 18% had previously sought help for psychological problems. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the previous suicide attempt, depressive mood in the prior two weeks, acute stress at the time of suicide, and low quality of life in the prior month were risk factors for suicide. Conclusion We urgently need to develop, implement and test preventive steps targeted at the risk factors for youth suicide, such as large-scale screening programs for the early recognition and treatment of depressive symptoms in youth, increasing their coping strategies and tolerance for acute stressors, and improving their quality of life.
