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.

评论：减少青少年自杀：全球势在必行-对Glenn等人的反思。（2020）。

Glenn及其同事研究了45个国家/地区的青少年自杀率，并探讨了性别，年龄，农村地区以及枪支和铁路供应对自杀率的影响。新西兰青年自杀率较高的原因可能是年轻的毛里斯青年自杀率很高。通过报告全国自杀趋势，报告按种族和族裔分类的自杀率，以及通过开展国际心理学尸检研究可以揭示跨国差异，可以加强未来的工作。尽管本文发现收入不平等与各国青少年自杀的男女比例有关，但在美国却报道了相反的趋势。但是，正如本文所述，贫困的影响至关重要。“转移到机会”研究发现，当13岁以下的年轻人从高贫困地区迁移到低贫困地区时，会产生持久的影响，包括抑郁症和焦虑症的患病率降低。尽管青少年自杀是全球关注的问题，但降低自杀率可能有局部解决方案，包括那些解决贫困和贫困社区对青年的有害影响的解决方案。
