Factors related to health and social well-being are associated with higher rates of suicide mortality in the Americas, according to a study.
The investigators obtained annual sex-specific, age-standardized suicide mortality estimates from the World Health Organization's Global Health Estimates database. They analyzed sex-specific suicide mortality rates between 2000 and 2019 for 33 countries in North, Central, and South America, including the United States, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina.
Significant differences appeared in the factors associated with suicide rates among men and among women. For instance, for every one-unit increase in education inequality, the suicide mortality rate among women increased by 10.98 per 100,000 population. Among men, the suicide mortality rate increased by 2.12 per 100,000 population for every one-unit increase in the prevalence of intravenous drug use.
"Suicide prevention goes beyond the healthcare system," said Lange."Suicide prevention strategies need to cut across all societal sectors, and only when we do this will we be truly successful in preventing suicide." Klonsky, who wasn't involved with this study, has researched the motivations and warning signs associated with suicide. He noted that the three-step theory of suicide suggests that pain and hopelessness cause suicidal desire, that suicidal desire is strong when pain exceeds connectedness, and strong suicidal desire becomes potentially lethal when someone has a plan or method to attempt it.
