Understanding the educational inequalities in suicide attempts and their mediators: A Mendelian randomisation study
Background: Educational inequalities in suicide have become increasingly prominent over the past decade. Elucidating modifiable risk factors that serve as intermediaries in the impact of low educational attainment on suicide has the potential to reduce health disparities. Aims: To examine the risk factors that mediate the relationship between educational attainment and suicide attempts and quantify their contributions […]
Single and combined effects of marital status, education attainment, and employment status on suicide among working-age population: A case-control study in South Korea
Background Suicide in the working-age population is an important public health issue. This group is heterogeneous regarding marital status, education level, and employment status, which are generally important socioeconomic factors for suicide, and has a wide age range. This study aims to explore the individual and combined effect of these socioeconomic factors on suicide in different age […]
Differences in all-cause and cause-specific mortality due to external causes and suicide between young adult refugees, non-refugee immigrants and Swedish-born young adults: The role of education and migration-related factors
Background International migration has increased during the past years and little is known about the mortality of young adult immigrants and refugees that came to Sweden as children. This study aimed to investigate 1) the risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality in young accompanied and unaccompanied refugees and non-refugee immigrants compared to Swedish born individuals; […]
Educational inequalities in suicide in a middle-income country: A socioeconomic approach of mental health
Objective This research aims to describe trends in inequalities in suicide mortality by educational level in Colombia between 1998 and 2015. Method Standardized suicide mortality rates (SMR) were calculated by educational level, sex, and age in adult men and women over 25 years of age. Poisson regression models were used to calculate the RR (rate ratio) […]
Structural indicators of suicide: An exploration of state-level risk factors among Black and White people in the United States, 2015–2019
Purpose Death by suicide among Black people in the USA have increased by 35.6% within the past decade. Among youth under the age of 24 years old, death by suicide among Black youth have risen substantially. Researchers have found that structural inequities (e.g. educational attainment) and state-specific variables (e.g. minimum wage, incarceration rates) may increase risk […]
Deliberate self-harm and associated risk factors in young adults: The importance of education attainment and sick leave
Purpose: The prevalence of deliberate self-harm (DSH) is high in young adults. However, few studies have examined risk in this specific age group. We, therefore, examined the relative influence and interactive nature of a wide range of potential sociodemographic and sick leave related risk factors in young adults, aged 18-35 years, using Norwegian register data. Methods: All […]
