Identify patterns of suicide amongst male and female adolescents aged 11-18 years in Ontario.
All 370 adolescent suicides in Ontario between January 2000 and November 2006 were analyzed. Previous attempts, history of psychiatric treatment, location committed and method of suicide were assessed. Data was analyzed using 2-tailed t-tests and chi-square without Yates' correction.
Male adolescent suicide was twice as common as female suicide. Males were more likely to use violent methods (p=0.0352) and females were more likely to have a history of a previous suicide attempt (p=0.0001).
While most of the data agree with previous studies in adult populations, the ratio of male to female suicides was much lower in our adolescent population.
确定安大略省11至18岁青少年男性和女性的自杀模式。
对2000年1月至2006年11月安大略省的370例青少年自杀案例进行分析。评估既往自杀未遂情况、精神科治疗史、自杀地点和自杀方式。使用双侧t检验和未进行耶茨校正的卡方检验对数据进行分析。
青少年男性自杀的发生率是女性的两倍。男性更倾向于采用暴力方式自杀(p = 0.0352),而女性更有可能有既往自杀未遂史(p = 0.0001)。
虽然大多数数据与以往关于成年人群的研究一致,但在我们的青少年人群中,男性与女性自杀的比例要低得多。
