This study examines the association between the presence of drugs and alcohol at time of suicide in Hispanic versus non-Hispanic youth suicide victims in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The Medical Examiner's records of 435 persons aged 24 years or younger classified as suicides in Miami-Dade County, Florida, from 1990 to 2011 were reviewed. Hispanic youth in Miami-Dade County, Florida were 1.62 times more likely than non-Hispanic youth to have used drugs and alcohol at time of suicide (OR 1.62; 95 % CI 1.07-2.04; p = 0.049). Firearm use was significantly associated with drug and alcohol use at time of death. Use of drugs and alcohol at the time of death are important risk factors for suicide in Hispanic youth.
本研究调查了佛罗里达州迈阿密-戴德县西班牙裔与非西班牙裔青少年自杀受害者自杀时药物和酒精的存在情况之间的关联。回顾了1990年至2011年佛罗里达州迈阿密-戴德县435名年龄在24岁及以下被归类为自杀者的法医记录。佛罗里达州迈阿密-戴德县的西班牙裔青少年自杀时使用药物和酒精的可能性是非西班牙裔青少年的1.62倍（比值比1.62；95%可信区间1.07 - 2.04；p = 0.049）。死亡时使用枪支与药物和酒精的使用显著相关。死亡时使用药物和酒精是西班牙裔青少年自杀的重要危险因素。
