ABSTRACT

Objective: To estimate the frequency of suicidal behavior (suicide ideation and attempts) in the Mexican adolescent population and compare it by geographic region.
Material and Methods: In a cross-sectional online survey from April to June 2021, 6775 adolescents’ responses were analyzed: 61.06% were female and 38.94% male, with an average age of 16.40 years (SD 1.33 years), selected by two-stage clusters. To assess suicidal behavior, two questions (one on ideation and the other on attempts) from the Youth Self Report mental health screening instrument, which has been validated in adolescents, were used.
Results: 44.12% of the participants reported suicidal ideation, 10.03% attempted suicide, and 7.39% engaged in suicidal behaviors. There were no statistically significant differences by sociodemographic region of Mexico.
Conclusion: During COVID-19 confinement, suicidal ideation was more frequent than in other studies, but not suicide attempts or ideation/attempts combined, and there were no significant differences by geographic region of Mexico.
