“…Many of the previous reviews cover broad areas and various types of studies and therefore go into little detail about estimates of association, while others are devoted to defined topics and study designs; for instance prevalence of acute alcohol intake in suicides (Cherpitel et al 2004) or excess suicide mortality in heavy drinkers (Wilcox et al, 2004). While some studies have demonstrated elevated risk of suicidal behaviour among children or spouses of heavy drinkers (Grøholt, Ekeberg et al 2000;Kizza, Hjelmeland et al 2012;Rossow and Moan 2012), none of the previous reviews have addressed such indirect effects. Moreover, none of the previous reviews have systematically reviewed aggregate level studies nor integrated the findings from both individual level and aggregate level studies; the present review thus appears to be the first in this respect.…”

“…For instance, alcohol abuse may have led to depression and social isolation but have ceased prior to the suicidal behaviour (Berglund and Öjehagen 1998). Regarding possible indirect effects, there are some indications that alcohol abuse or alcohol intoxication may impact on suicidal behaviour in other family members, as children or spouses (Grøholt, Ekeberg et al 2000;Kizza, Hjelmeland et al 2012;Rossow and Moan 2012). Likely mechanisms include the adverse effects of alcohol abuse on other family members such as physical or emotional abuse and financial problems (Room, Ferris et al 2010), which in turn may increase the risk for suicidal behaviour in affected family members.…”

Objectives: To provide an updated review of the magnitude of the relationship between alcohol use and suicidal behaviour at the individual and the population level. Methods: Systematic literature searches retrieved 14 reviews of individual level studies and 16 primary population level studies. Results: Alcohol abuse and alcohol intoxication are often present in suicidal behaviour; risk of suicide is elevated in alcohol abusers ; and increasing population drinking tends to be associated with increase in suicide rates. Estimated magnitude of the relationship differs for men and women and it varies at the population level across cultures with different drinking pattern. These variations probably reflect gender differences and cultural variation in drinking behaviour generally. Conclusion: Empirical evidence for a causal relationship is still urgently needed.

SAMMENDRAGTre grupper av unge med suicidal atferd sammenliknes; unge som døde av suicid (N=129), unge som gjorde selvmordsforsøk og ble hospitalisert (N=92), og unge som har skadet seg selv, men ikke ble innlagt på sykehus (N=141). Alle gruppene omfatter unge til og med 19 år, og er sammenliknet med gjennomsnittsungdom fra spørreundersøkelsen "Ung i Norge". Variabler knyttet til psykisk helse, sosial situasjon og forhold til andre ble inkludert i analysene. For selvmordsstudien var få sosiale variabler inkludert. I multivariate analyser fant vi at depresjon, utagerende atferd og lav selvfølelse øket risiko for all suicidal atferd, på en måte som indikerte en kontinuitet knyttet til alvorlighetsgrad mellom de ulike suicidale gruppene. Negative ytre forhold (sosiale forhold, forhold til andre) hadde klarest sammenheng med alvorlige selvmordsforsøk. De unge som søkte støtte hos foreldre ved behov var delvis beskyttet. De som søkte støtte fra venner viste suicidal atferd, men sjelden slik at det førte til innleggelse. Konsekvenser av disse forskjellene, bl.a. for forebyggende tiltak, diskuteres. ENGLISH SUMMARYStudies related to different types of suicidal behaviours are reported and findings compared. In casecontrol designed studies, risk factors for suicide (N=129), hospitalised suicide attempt (N=92) and deliberate self-harm (N=141) are estimated. Mental disorders, above all depression, increased the risk for all types of suicidal behaviours, in a manner indicating a continuum of severity between the different behaviours. Also behaviour problems and low self-esteem showed this pattern. Information about social and family problems was scarce regarding suicide. These problems seemed to have the strongest association with hospitalised self-harm. Young people who asked for support from parents or peers seemed to have a relative protection. Peer support protected against self-harm leading to hospitalisation, while parent support also protected against the less serious deliberate self-harm. The practical consequences of these findings are discussed.

To examine the independent and cumulative effects of past-year exposure to several different types of child victimization (peer victimization, witnessing family violence, community violence, sexual assault, and maltreatment) on suicidal ideation in a nationally representative sample of adolescents. Design: The study used 2 waves of longitudinal data from the National Survey of Children's Exposure to Violence.
