Beginning in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and response, which included physical distancing and stay-at-home orders, disrupted daily life in the United States. Compared with the rate in 2019, a 31% increase in the proportion of mental health-related emergency department (ED) visits occurred among adolescents aged 12-17 years in 2020 (1). In June 2020, 25% of surveyed adults aged 18-24 years reported experiencing suicidal ideation related to the pandemic in the past 30 days (2). More recent patterns of ED visits for suspected suicide attempts among these age groups are unclear. Using data from the National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP),* CDC examined trends in ED visits for suspected suicide attempts during January 1, 2019-May 15, 2021, among persons aged 12-25 years, by sex, and at three distinct phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. Compared with the corresponding period in 2019, persons aged 12-25 years made fewer ED visits for suspected suicide attempts during March 29-April 25, 2020. However, by early May 2020, ED visit counts for suspected suicide attempts began increasing among adolescents aged 12-17 years, especially among girls. During July 26-August 22, 2020, the mean weekly number of ED visits for suspected suicide attempts among girls aged 12-17 years was 26.2% higher than during the same period a year earlier; during February 21-March 20, 2021, mean weekly ED visit counts for suspected suicide attempts were 50.6% higher among girls aged 12-17 years compared with the same period in 2019. Suicide prevention measures focused on young persons call for a comprehensive approach, that is adapted during times of infrastructure disruption, involving multisectoral partnerships (e.g., public health, mental health, schools, and families) and implementation of evidence-based strategies (3) that address the range of factors influencing suicide risk.
自 2020 年 3 月以来,COVID-19 大流行及应对措施(包括保持身体距离和居家令)扰乱了美国的日常生活。与 2019 年相比,2020 年 12-17 岁青少年因心理健康相关而到急诊部就诊的比例增加了 31%(1)。2020 年 6 月,25%接受调查的 18-24 岁成年人报告在过去 30 天内因大流行而出现自杀意念(2)。这些年龄段人群因疑似自杀而到急诊部就诊的最新模式尚不清楚。利用国家综合征监测计划(NSSP)的数据,*CDC 研究了 2019 年 1 月 1 日至 2021 年 5 月 15 日期间 COVID-19 大流行的三个不同阶段期间,12-25 岁人群因疑似自杀而到急诊部就诊的趋势,按性别划分。与 2019 年同期相比,2020 年 3 月 29 日至 4 月 25 日,12-25 岁人群因疑似自杀而到急诊部就诊的人数有所减少。然而,到 2020 年 5 月初,12-17 岁青少年因疑似自杀而到急诊部就诊的人数开始增加,尤其是女孩。2020 年 7 月 26 日至 8 月 22 日,12-17 岁女孩因疑似自杀而到急诊部就诊的每周平均人数比一年前同期高出 26.2%;2021 年 2 月 21 日至 3 月 20 日,12-17 岁女孩因疑似自杀而到急诊部就诊的每周平均人数比 2019 年同期高出 50.6%。针对年轻人的自杀预防措施需要采取综合方法,在基础设施受到破坏时进行调整,涉及多部门伙伴关系(例如公共卫生、心理健康、学校和家庭),并实施基于证据的战略(3),以解决影响自杀风险的各种因素。
