The occurrence of reported suicide cases amongst young people in Kenya is alarming and yet many cases go unreported in most cultures in Kenya due social stigma associated with suicide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Psychology - Miscellaneous, grade: 6.84/10, Indira Gandhi National Open University, course: Psychology, language: English, abstract: The suicide rate among children and adolescents in the world has increased dramatically in recent years. It has been accompanied by substantial changes in the leading methods of youth suicide, especially among young girls. Much work is underway to elucidate the relationships between psychopathology, substance use, child abuse, bullying, internet use, and youth suicidal behaviour. Recent evidence also suggests sex-specific and moderating roles of gender in influencing risk for suicide and suicidal behaviour. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among adolescents globally, accounting for 11% of all deaths to youth ages 12 to 19 between 1999 and 2006, and rates of attempting suicide and suicidal ideation are higher than those of completed suicide. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 157,000 youth between the ages of 10 and 24 receive medical care at emergency departments for self-inflicted injuries each year. Data from the 2011 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey show that 16% of youth reported seriously considering suicide, 13% reported creating a plan, and 8% reported trying to take their own lives in the 12 months preceding the survey. The bulk of existing research on adolescent suicide focuses on psychological explanations and individual-level risk factors for suicide, including mental health, substance use patterns, and exposure to traumatic life events, such as sexual abuse. This work is critical because it identifies individuals at the greatest risk of suicide and provides clear intervention strategies to address individuals’ unique paths to suicidal ideation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Sociology - Children and Youth, , language: English, abstract: This essay summarises the reasons for suicide among children and young adults as well as information articles on how to support persons who attempted suicide. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), Suicide is a serious public health problem that affects even young people. The CDC goes on to state that Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death for youth between the ages of 10 and 24 years of age, which results in approximately 4600 lives lost each year. Even with the problematic issue of lives lost, suicide is only one part of the problem; the other half of the problem is suicide attempts. Results from a nationwide survey of youth in grades 9-12 in public and private schooling in the United States found that 16% of students reported seriously considering suicide, 13% reported creating a plan, and 8% reported trying to take their own life in the 12 months preceding the survey. Each year, approximately 157,000 youth between the ages of 10 and 24 receive medical care for self-inflicted injuries at Emergency Departments across the United States.

Angela Browne-Miller, PhD, is editor of this comprehensive and unique set of four volumes containing over 110 chapters from over 130 international experts with backgrounds in behavioral science, social science, law, and medicine, as well as researchers, practitioners, and lay persons with varied specialties. These volumes cover the following areas reflected by their titles: Volume One: Fundamentals, Effects, and Extremes; Volume Two: Setting, Age, Gender, and Other Key Elements; Volume Three: Psychological, Ritual, Sexual, and Trafficking Issues; and Volume Four: Faces on Intimate Partner Violence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a baffling, troubling, and hard to treat phenomenon that has increased markedly in recent years. Key issues in diagnosing and treating NSSI adequately include differentiating it from attempted suicide and other mental disorders, as well as understanding the motivations for self-injury and the context in which it occurs. This accessible and practical book provides therapists and students with a clear understanding of these key issues, as well as of suitable assessment techniques. It then goes on to delineate research-informed treatment approaches for NSSI, with an emphasis on functional assessment, emotion regulation, and problem solving, including motivational interviewing, interpersonal skills, CBT, DBT, behavioral management strategies, delay behaviors, exercise, family therapy, risk management, and medication, as well as how to successfully combine methods.

Book excerpt: Summary Risk factors linked to suicidal behaviour vary considerably by specific population and setting under study. This project is geared towards providing a better understanding of suicidal behaviour burden, its risk factors, its sociocultural perspectives and its associations with mental disorders in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We use a mixed methods approach to examine these factors in various settings. Specifically in chapter 2, we focus on factors associated with suicidal behaviour in persons with mental, neurological and substance use disorders. We use a systematic review and meta-analytic approach to examine these factors in a broader setting, low- and middle-income countries. In chapter 3, we specifically examine completed suicides in a community setting and narrow our study goals to the Kenyan population. In this chapter, we use a 5-year retrospective data from a health and demographic system in Western Kenya. Using this data, we estimate a cumulative incidence of definite suicides reported in the area. We further undertake content analysis of available verbal autopsies and additionally analyze for probable suicide incidence and factors associated with completed suicides in the western Kenya region. In the next chapter (4), we direct our attention to suicidal behaviour among general outpatients in the coastal region of Kenya. The study examines prevalence of suicidal behaviour in this cohort and further investigates factors associated with suicidal ideation in this cohort. In chapter 5, we narrow our focus on a cohort of patients diagnosed with psychotic disorders in the coastal region of Kenya. We prospectively recruit these patients from various psychiatric clinics and using a cross sectional survey design we examine factors associated with suicidal ideation and suicidal attempt. We analyze this data using both categorical suicidality outcomes and continuous risk score of suicidality outcomes.
