All suicides for ages 20 years and younger in Manitoba from 1971 to 1982 were studied for demographic and risk factors. Major demographic findings for Caucasian Manitobans agreed with past studies but native children showed several fold the rates for Caucasian children matched for gender and age. Both native males and rural Caucasian males suicided significantly more frequently at younger ages than their urban counterparts. Significant risk factors and demographic clusters of suicide victims were determined by statistical means and the results discussed in terms of a better understanding of childhood suicide, on a psychodynamic basis.
对1971年至1982年曼尼托巴省20岁及以下人群的所有自杀案例进行了研究，以分析人口统计学和风险因素。曼尼托巴省白人的主要人口统计学研究结果与以往研究一致，但原住民儿童的自杀率是年龄和性别匹配的白人儿童的几倍。与城市同龄人相比，原住民男性和农村白人男性在较年轻时自杀的频率明显更高。通过统计方法确定了自杀受害者的重要风险因素和人口统计学集群，并从精神动力学角度对结果进行了讨论，以便更好地理解儿童自杀问题。
