Gender Differences in Youth Suicide - Implications for Suicide Prevention
FY 2013-14
Summary
Suicide is the second leading cause of death in youth, with the bulk of these deaths occurring in males. We seek to better understand why to inform prevention efforts. We propose three studies among Ontario youth (aged 10 to 25 years) to provide new knowledge on: 1) gender differences in health service access 2) gender differences in health service quality and 3) gender differences in suicide means. Ontario's size, universal medical insurance and secure linkable, longitudinal administrative data make these studies possible. We will involve policy and decision-makers, clinicians, family and youth. The knowledge gained will help develop and evaluate prevention efforts (and standards) for suicidal youth. Also, we will develop and solidify the methods needed to monitor the uptake of prevention efforts. We see this project as important first step towards ultimately preventing youth suicide.
