Tittel

Youth suicide in Norway, 1990-1992: A comparison between children and adolescents completing suicide and age- and gender-matched controls

Sammendrag

In Norway 1990-92, the suicide rate was 18.6/100,000/year for boys 15-19 years and 6.3 for girls, and for 10-14 year olds 2.7 for boys and 0.5 for girls. Comparison of all completed suicides (N=129) with sex- and age-matched control subjects identified depression (OR=19.9, CI=11.2-35.5), disruptive disorders (OR=6.0, CI=3.1-11.4) and previous suicidal behavior (OR=3.4, CI=2.0-5.6) as main risk factors. Of the suicide completers, 74% had mental disorders. Suicidal intent was previously expressed by 48%, but few (24%) had received treatment despite well developed health services. A history of disruptive disorders (17%) and substance abuse (10%) were less frequently found than in previous studies, but binge drinking may contribute to the adolescent suicide rate.
