Suicide-related mortality statistics varies across countries, as it is influenced by several risk factors.1 India accounts for more than 1/4th of global suicides.2 Behind every suicide death in India, there are more than 15 attempts for suicide and more than 200 people with suicidal ideation.2 The recent National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data on “Accidental Deaths and Suicides in India” reports that the suicide rate has increased from 10.2 in 2018 to 10.4 in 2019.3 There is a 3.4% rise in suicide compared to the previous year, which is alarming. Considering the urgent need for intervention, the Government of India has started a national helpline to improve access to mental health care, along with some other initiatives.4 Also, there is an urgent need to develop some culturally appropriate interventions or strategies to reduce suicide rates. However, to create effective strategies and measure the change at the national or state level, we need comprehensive data on suicide. Quality data is a fundamental challenge across the globe, especially in low and middle-income countries. According to WHO estimates, among the 183 member states, only a little more than 1/3rd (80) provide high-quality suicide data.5 A nationally representative mortality survey found that 3% of the total deaths were due to suicide.6 This survey collected mortality data through a household survey; this indicates that the data source is likely to influence the mortality statistics significantly.

提高印度国家自杀数据质量的措施:前进的道路

与自杀相关的死亡率统计数据因国家而异,因为它受到多种风险因素的影响。1印度占全球自杀人数的 1/4 以上。2印度每起自杀身亡的背后,都有超过 15 次自杀未遂和 200 多名有自杀念头的人。2最近国家犯罪记录局 (NCRB) 的“印度意外死亡和自杀”数据报告称,自杀率从 2018 年的 10.2 上升到 2019 年的 10.4。3上一年相比,自杀率上升了 3.4% ,这是令人震惊的。考虑到干预的迫切需要,印度政府已经开通了一条全国帮助热线,以改善获得精神卫生保健的机会,并采取了一些其他举措。4此外,迫切需要制定一些文化上适当的干预措施或策略来降低自杀率。然而,为了制定有效的策略并衡量国家或州一级的变化,我们需要关于自杀的综合数据。质量数据是全球面临的一项基本挑战,尤其是在低收入和中等收入国家。据世卫组织估计,在 183 个成员国中,只有略高于 1/3(80)的国家提供了高质量的自杀数据。5一项具有全国代表性的死亡率调查发现,总死亡人数的 3% 是由于自杀。6本次调查通过家庭调查收集死亡率数据;这表明数据来源可能对死亡率统计产生重大影响。
