加拿大的因纽特人目前是世界上自杀率最高的人之一。本研究的目的是探讨生活在魁北克努纳维克的15- 24岁奥尔兹自杀意念和企图的患病率，并探讨自杀企图的风险和保护因素作为性别的函数。2004年在努纳维克进行了一次横断面调查。进行单因素和多因素Logistic回归分析。共有22%的年轻男性和39%的女性成年人报告了过去的自杀企图。在相关风险和保护因素以及风险因素暴露程度方面观察到性别差异。预防自杀必须包括酒精和毒品预防方案和康复服务，减少身体和性暴力及其对因纽特青年的长期影响的干预措施，以及接触有文化意义的活动。
Inuit in Canada currently suffer from one of the highest rates of suicide in the world. The objective of this study was to explore the prevalence of suicide ideations and attempts among 15-24year olds living in Nunavik, Quebec, and to explore risk and protective factors of suicide attempts as a function of gender. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2004 across Nunavik. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were conducted. A total of 22% of young males and 39% of females adults reported past suicidal attempts. Gender differences were observed in relation to associated risk and protective factors as well as degree of exposure to risk factors. Suicide prevention must include alcohol and drug prevention programs and rehabilitation services, interventions to reduce physical and sexual violence and their long-term impacts on Inuit youth, as well as exposure to culturally meaningful activities.
