Suicide Risk Assessment and Prevention

Abstract

Suicide rates are high in South Asia, especially in women and young people. Potential risk factors for suicide in women include: gender inequality and violence; poor marital and family relationships; childlessness; and depressive disorders. Potential risk factors for suicide in young people include: aspirational disappointments; addictions to smartphones, games, and social media; bullying; and alcohol and drug use. However, the evidence regarding these factors is weak, and more rigorous studies are needed to investigate the strength and nature of associations between these factors and suicide. Only some South Asian countries have national suicide prevention strategies, and efforts at suicide prevention in most countries are mainly limited to crisis helplines by NGOs. There is need for implementing evidence-based population level health interventions to reduce suicide, in combination with interventions for suicidal persons, and for these initiatives to be implemented as a collaborative effort involving multiple sectors, for example, the Government, educational institutions, health services, NGOs, media, and the community.
