Alcohol abusers seem to be prone to both suicide attempts and completions. The relationship between alcohol abuse and suicide in adolescence is complex.
To examine the role of alcohol abuse and dependence in adolescent suicide in psychological autopsy studies.
A search in the National Library of Medicine (NLM) PubMed database using "adolescents" and "all child: 0-18 years" as the search terms for age and "psychological autopsy" as the search term for title or abstract.
Forty articles met the selection criteria and each one is described. There was a high prevalence of alcohol abuse detected in the studies (range 21.42% to 43.47% in samples aged under 20 years). Alcohol misuse was present in suicides in the form of chronic abuse, acute abuse and dependence.
Alcohol abuse and dependence is highly prevalent among adolescent suicides. In many studies, alcohol consumption is analyzed in combination with drug abuse. Further studies are necessary to clarify the prevalence of chronic and acute alcohol abuse in order to identify specific high-risk population groups and design antisuicidal interventions for them. Both acute and chronic alcohol use should be evaluated when assessing suicide risk in adolescents.
酗酒者似乎容易出现自杀未遂和自杀身亡的情况。青少年时期酗酒与自杀之间的关系很复杂。
在心理解剖学研究中探讨酗酒和酒精依赖在青少年自杀中的作用。
在国立医学图书馆（NLM）的PubMed数据库中进行检索，使用“青少年”和“所有儿童：0 - 18岁”作为年龄检索词，“心理解剖”作为标题或摘要检索词。
40篇文章符合入选标准，并对每一篇进行了描述。研究中检测到酗酒的发生率很高（20岁以下样本中发生率在21.42%至43.47%之间）。酒精滥用以慢性滥用、急性滥用和依赖的形式出现在自杀案例中。
酗酒和酒精依赖在青少年自杀者中非常普遍。在许多研究中，饮酒情况是与药物滥用一起分析的。有必要进一步研究以明确慢性和急性酒精滥用的发生率，从而确定特定的高危人群，并为他们设计预防自杀的干预措施。在评估青少年自杀风险时，应同时评估急性和慢性酒精使用情况。
