Mehlum, Lars: Suicide among children and young people in Norway – some epidemiological development features
ثبت نشده
چکیده
One of the unfortunate trends that may have had the greatest effect on this change of opinion is the increase in the frequency of suicide among young people. Even more so than in the case of other suicides, most of us feel it is meaningless and incomprehensible when a child or a young person commits suicide. Therefore reports about such cases have attracted much attention in the mass media, a focus that has not always been aimed at improving the situation. Serious reports on the number of suicides and not least objective analyses of the reasons we assume lie behind suicides by young persons have been scarce. This article will thus provide a brief description of the development of the suicide rate among children and young persons in Norway during the last 20 30 years.
