Suicide has been considered a large public health concern in recent years because suicide mortality has been increasing rapidly. This study was done to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of a suicide attempt among adolescents in South Korea.
The data of the 2006 Youth Health Risk Behavior web-based Survey collected by the Korean Center for Disease Control was analyzed using logistic regression for this study.
The prevalence of a suicide attempt was 5.2% in South Korea. The risk factors of a suicide attempt were suicidal ideation (odds 31.83), depression (odds 7.98), drug use (odds 4.67), currently smoking (odds 3.19), feeling unhappiness (odds 2.77), stress (odds 2.60), currently drinking alcohol (odds 2.39), sexual activity (odds 2.33), living with neither parent (odds 2.24), initial alcohol drinking by age 9 (odds 1.80), health status (odds 2.15), skipped breakfast (odds 1.75), disease (odds 1.65), and school records (odds 1.22).
Suicide screening and prevention programs should be developed, considering these risk factors. Suicide prevention programs should be applied to the at risk population prior to a suicide attempt.
近年来，自杀已成为一个重大的公共卫生问题，因为自杀死亡率一直在迅速上升。本研究旨在调查韩国青少年自杀未遂的患病率及危险因素。
本研究使用逻辑回归分析了韩国疾病控制中心收集的2006年青少年健康风险行为网络调查数据。
韩国自杀未遂的患病率为5.2%。自杀未遂的危险因素包括自杀意念（比值比31.83）、抑郁（比值比7.98）、药物使用（比值比4.67）、当前吸烟（比值比3.19）、感到不幸福（比值比2.77）、压力（比值比2.60）、当前饮酒（比值比2.39）、性活动（比值比2.33）、父母均不与其同住（比值比2.24）、9岁前初次饮酒（比值比1.80）、健康状况（比值比2.15）、不吃早餐（比值比1.75）、疾病（比值比1.65）和学业成绩（比值比1.22）。
应考虑这些危险因素制定自杀筛查和预防项目。自杀预防项目应在自杀未遂发生前应用于高危人群。
