“…A prospective study reported that early onset of tobacco use increase risk of suicidal behaviors in AYA patients significantly (45). Use of alcohol and marijuana may also predict higher risk of suicide in AYA patients (46). Lower education level and unemployment caused by cancer may also associated with higher risk of suicide in AYA patients (44,47).…”

Background: Many researchers have studied suicide risk factors of patients with one specific cancer. But there is no comprehensive study to compare suicide issues between adolescents and young adult (AYA) group and all-age groups in a pan-cancer view.Methods: Patients diagnosed with 20 solid malignancies were identified from SEER database. Multivariable logistic regression was operated to find out risk factors of suicide.Results: Male sex has less impact on AYA than all-age patients (OR 2.72, 95% CI: 2.23-3.31, P<0.001 vs.

Both acute and chronic alcohol use is a risk factor for suicide [7]. Borowsky IW, et al. [8] (2001) found a significant association between alcohol use and suicide attempts in adolescents, using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health [8]. Rates of alcohol use among adolescents who attempted suicide, are reported to be between 35% [9] and 42% [10] Swedo SE, et al. Found that high alcohol use, OR 23.6 (95% CI 3.64-153), is a risk factor for engaging in deliberate self-harm, which increases one's risk of suicide by 30-40 times [11]. Sellers (2019) found that alcohol use in the three months prior to psychiatric hospitalization increases the odds of a suicide attempt in suicidal adolescents on the same day and over time. A study by Zhang and Wu [12] demonstrated that students who used alcohol within the past year are at an increased risk of endorsing suicide ideation within the same year.

“…In particular, alcohol use is reportedly more strongly associated with adolescent suicidal behavior than the use of other drugs [ 14 ]. Drinking itself increases psychological distress and impulsivity and reduces the problemsolving capacity, thus increasing the risk of suicide attempts [ 15 ]. Furthermore, drinking causes disinhibited behavior, which may not only facilitate suicidal ideation but also lead to impulsive suicide attempts [ 16 ].…”

Objectives Adolescent suicide is a serious social problem. Adolescent alcohol use is one of the most important risk factors for adolescent suicide. This study aimed to identify the relationship between drinking habits and suicide among Korean adolescents. Methods Data from the 14th and 15th Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey, conducted in 2018 and 2019, were used for analysis. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify the relationship between drinking habits—including the age of drinking initiation, frequency of drinking, average drinking amount, frequency of drunkenness—and suicidal ideation, plans, and attempts. Results Even after adjusting for age, sex, school grade, academic achievement, socioeconomic status, depression, stress, and drinking habits, the frequencies of drinking and drunkenness increased the risk of suicide attempts. Suicide attempts were associated with the frequency of drinking in girls and middle school students, and with the frequency of drunkenness in boys and high school students. Conclusion This study identified associations between drinking habits (the age of drinking initiation, frequency of drinking, average amount of drinking, frequency of drunkenness) and suicidal behavior in adolescents. Our findings suggest that to prevent adolescent suicide, it might be necessary to investigate drinking habits, including the frequencies of drinking and drunkenness. Moreover, considering the differences in sex and school grade, it is important to include the individual group characteristics when evaluating drinking habits.
