目的：尽管亚洲文化中青年自杀率不断上升，但缺乏15-24岁青年的自杀数据，对自杀的风险和保护因素知之甚少。本研究探讨了自杀意念和企图之间的患病率在15-24岁的青少年，并确定了自杀的社会人口学相关因素在河内，上海，和taipe.Methods：17,016青年年龄在15-24岁的横断面调查进行了农村和城市地区的河内，越南，上海，中国和台北，台湾在2006年。Logistic回归分析相关的自杀意念和企图across cities.Results：自杀意念和企图的12个月患病率分别为8.4%和2.5%，在所有三个城市。自杀意念最高的是台北（17.0%），上海（8.1%），最低的是河内（2.3%）;自杀企图也有类似的趋势。与20-24岁的年轻人和男性相比，年轻年龄组（15-19岁）和女性更容易报告自杀意念和自杀企图。在多变量logistic回归结果中，在三个城市中，女性性别、年轻年龄、家庭结构、父母支持、自杀家族史、移民身份和物质使用与自杀意念相关。与自杀企图相关的因素包括女性性别，自杀家族史，父母的支持，和substance use.Discussion：自杀是亚洲青年中常见的，在工业化程度最高的城市报道。(C)2012年青少年健康和医学协会。All rights reserved.
Purpose: Despite increasing rates of suicide among youth in Asian cultures, there is a lack of suicide data among 15-24 year-olds, and little is known about the risk and protective factors for suicidality. This study examines the prevalence of suicidal ideation and attempts among 15-24 year-olds and identifies the sociodemographic correlates of suicidality in Hanoi, Shanghai, and Taipei.Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 17,016 youth aged 15-24 years was conducted in rural and urban areas of Hanoi, Vietnam; Shanghai, China; and Taipei, Taiwan in 2006. Logistic regression was used to analyze correlates of suicidal ideation and attempt across cities.Results: The 12-month prevalence of suicidal ideation and attempt was 8.4% and 2.5% across all three cities, respectively. Suicidal ideation was highest in Taipei (17.0%), Shanghai (8.1%), and lowest in Hanoi (2.3%); similar trends were found for suicidal attempts. Younger age cohorts (15-19 year-olds) and females were more likely to report suicidal ideation and suicidal attempts compared with 20-24 year-olds and males. In multivariate logistic regression results, across the three cities, female gender, younger age, family structure, parental support, family history of suicide, migration status, and substance use were associated with suicidal ideation. Factors associated with suicidal attempt included female gender, family history of suicide, parental support, and substance use.Discussion: Suicidality is common among Asian youth, with highest levels reported in more industrialized cities.
