Background: This investigation aimed to estimate the prevalence and its correlates of single and multiple suicide attempts among adolescents in Liberia.Method: Cross-sectional nationally representative data were analysed from 2,744 adolescents (18 years median age) that participated in the “2017 Liberia Global School-Based Student Health Survey (GSHS).”Results: Results indicate that 33.7% of students had made a suicide attempt in the past 12 months (16.5% single and 17.2% multiple suicide attempts). In adjusted multinomial logistic regression analysis, having no close friends, loneliness, having been frequently physically attacked, ever used amphetamine and fast food intake were associated with multiple suicide attempts in the past 12 months. In addition, having been frequently in a physical fight and current tobacco use were associated with single suicide attempt. In sex stratified analyses, in addition, among boys frequent bullying victimization and among girls, parental tobacco use and parents never or rarely check on home work were associated with multiple suicide attempts. Multiple psychosocial distressors, multiple social-environmental factors and multiple health risk behaviours were associated with single and multiple suicide attempts.Conclusion: One in three students had made suicide attempt in the past 12 months (one in six students multiple suicide attempts) and several associated variables were detected which can aid in designing intervention strategies.

“…A positive association was also reported after adjustment for confounders in several cross-sectional studies. Davaasambuu et al reported a 31% increased odds of suicide attempt in multivariable analysis (aOR 1.31, 95% confidence interval 1.03–1.67) [ 48 ]. Pillai et al detected a strong relationship between missing four or more days of school in 3 months and a suicide attempt during the same period in Goa (India), but this relationship did not hold for lower levels of absence.…”

Self-harm and suicidal ideation in children and adolescents are common and are risk factors for completed suicide. Social exclusion, which can take many forms, increases the risk of self-harm and suicidal ideation. One important marker of social exclusion in young people is school absenteeism. Whether school absenteeism is associated with these adverse outcomes, and if so to what extent, remains unclear. To determine the association between school absenteeism and both self-harm (including completed suicide) and suicidal ideation in children and adolescents, we conducted a systematic review of observational studies. We conducted meta-analysis and report a narrative synthesis where this was not possible. Meta-analysis of cross-sectional studies showed that school absenteeism was associated with an increased risk of self-harm [pooled adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.37, 95% confidence interval 1.20–1.57, P = 0.01] and of suicidal ideation (pooled aOR 1.20, 95% CI 1.02–1.42, P = 0.03). A small number of studies showed that school absenteeism had a longitudinal association with both adverse outcomes. Heterogeneity in the exposure and outcome variables, study design and reporting was prominent and limited the extent to which it was appropriate to pool results. School absenteeism was associated with both self-harm and suicidal ideation in young people, but this evidence was derived from a small number of cross-sectional studies. Further research into the mechanisms of this association could help to inform self-harm and suicide prevention strategies at clinical, school and population levels.

“…The large and growing burden of mental health and substance use disorders among older children and adolescents also is an emerging threat to the thrive component of the SDG survive and thrive agenda. While the psychological needs of children and adolescents show similarities across geographical settings, 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 comparatively little is understood about modifiable risk factors or effective prevention programs for childhood mental illness, outside of ensuring that caregivers are attuned to the link between mental health disorders and self-harm. 28 , 29 Injuries in general continue to be a major cause of early mortality and long-term disability among older children and adolescents in all countries.…”

Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors in Child and Adolescent Health, 1990 to 2017

Key Points Question How have the levels, trends, and leading causes of child and adolescent mortality and nonfatal health loss changed from 1990 to 2017? Findings This study found that child and adolescent mortality decreased throughout the world from 1990 to 2017, but morbidity has increased as a proportion of total disease burden, because the major causes of nonfatal health loss during childhood and adolescence have not changed dramatically. Meaning As the global health community continues to prioritize child and adolescent health during the Sustainable Development Goal era, careful attention should also be placed on examining and addressing nonfatal illness and disability across the development spectrum.

Suicidal Plans and Attempts Among Adolescents in Mongolia

Abstract: Given the comparable patterns of risk between urban and rural adolescents and the relatively high rates of suicidal plans and attempts, similar mental health services and interventions are necessitated for both urban and rural areas.
