格伦和他的同事们研究了45个国家的青少年自杀率，并探讨了性别，年龄，农村地区以及枪支和铁路的可用性对自杀率的影响。新西兰青少年自杀率较高的原因可能是年轻毛利人的青少年自杀率很高。未来的工作可以通过报告自杀的国家趋势，报告按种族和民族划分的比率，以及通过发展国际心理尸检研究来加强，这些研究可以揭示跨国差异。虽然这篇文章发现收入不平等与各国青少年自杀的男女比例相关，但美国报告的趋势相反。然而，正如本文所指出的，贫困的影响很重要。"走向机会“研究发现，当13岁以下的青年从高度贫困的社区搬到低度贫困的社区时，会产生持久的影响，包括抑郁和焦虑程度降低。虽然青少年自杀是一个全球性的问题，但降低自杀率可能有地方性的解决办法，包括解决贫穷和贫穷社区对青年的有害影响的办法。
Glenn and colleagues have examined rates of adolescent suicide across 45 countries and explored the role of sex, age, rurality and availability of guns and railways on suicide rates. Higher rates of adolescent suicide in New Zealand may be explained by the very high rate of adolescent suicide in young Maoris. Future work could be enhanced by reporting on national trends in suicide, reporting on rates broken down by race and ethnicity, and through the development of international psychological autopsy studies that could shed light on cross‐country differences. While this article found that income inequality was correlated with the male‐to‐female ratio of adolescent suicide across countries, the opposite trend has been reported in the United States. However, as noted by this article, the effects of poverty matter. The Move To Opportunity study found that when youth under the age of 13 were moved from a high poverty to a low poverty neighbourhood, there were enduring effects, including lower levels of depression and anxiety. While adolescent suicide is a global concern, reduction in the suicide rate may have local solutions, including those that address the pernicious effects of poverty and poor neighbourhoods on youth.
