“…Jamaican adolescents living in urban areas reported a higher prevalence of suicidal ideation among than those living in rural areas [78]. This is to contrast what is seen for parasuicide and suicide, which occurred more often in rural areas [46–53]. One study examined suicide in a country-level; highest rates were found in in Guyana (22.4 per 100,000) and Suriname (15.3), followed by Trinidad (7.0), Cuba (4.0) and Puerto Rico (3.6) [54].…”

“…Among these, 12 were classified as having moderate risk of bias, 38 as having serious risk of bias, and 11 as having unclear risk of bias. Across depression prevalence, depression score, suicidal ideation and parasuicide, females outnumbered males with only minor exceptions: one study from Haiti found a slightly higher prevalence (92% vs 86.5%) and depression scores (x = 23.4 vs x = 21.1) among males [ 45 ]; and three studies showed slightly more parasuicide in males in Martinique and Puerto Rico [ 46 , 47 , 48 ]. Suicide, however, unanimously occurred more frequently by males across several countries [ 49 – 56 ].…”

BackgroundDepressive disorder is the largest contributor to years lived with disability in the Caribbean, adding 948 per 100,000 in 2013. Depression is also a major risk factor for suicidal behaviour. Social inequalities influence the occurrence of depression, yet little is known about the social inequalities of this condition in the Caribbean. In support of the 2011 Rio Political Declaration on addressing health inequities, this article presents a systematic review of the role of social determinants on depression and its suicidal behaviours in the Caribbean.MethodsEight databases were searched for observational studies reporting associations between social determinants and depression frequency, severity, or outcomes. Based on the PROGRESS-plus checklist, we considered 9 social determinant groups (of 15 endpoints) for 6 depression endpoints, totalling 90 possible ways (‘relationship groups’) to explore the role of social determinants on depression. Studies with ≥50 participants conducted in Caribbean territories between 2004 and 2014 were eligible. The review was conducted according to STROBE and PRISMA guidelines. Results were planned as a narrative synthesis, with meta-analysis if possible.ResultsFrom 3951 citations, 55 articles from 45 studies were included. Most were classified as serious risk of bias. Fifty-seven relationship groups were reported by the 55 included articles, leaving 33 relationship groups (37%) without an evidence base. Most associations were reported for gender, age, residence, marital status, and education. Depression, its severity, and its outcomes were more common among females (except suicide which was more common among males), early and middle adolescents (among youth), and those with lower levels of education. Marriage emerged as both a risk and protective factor for depression score and prevalence, while several inequality relationships in Haiti were in contrast to typical trends.ConclusionThe risk of bias and few numbers of studies within relationship groups restricted the synthesis of Caribbean evidence on social inequalities of depression. Along with more research focusing on regional social inequalities, attempts at standardizing reporting guidelines for observational studies of inequality and studies examining depression is necessitated. This review offers as a benchmark to prioritize future research into the social determinants of depression frequency and outcomes in the Caribbean.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12889-017-4371-z) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…2 As young adults, 6% of these individuals reported a suicide attempt, with 30% reporting repeated attempts. 2 Although we know that adolescents and young adults with a chronic illness experience elevated risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviour (STB) as compared with their healthy peers; [6][7][8][9][10][11] important knowledge gaps remain. First, adolescents and young adults with chronic illness are also at increased risk for psychiatric disorder 12 but the interrelationships among chronic illness, psychiatric disorder, and STB are not well-understood in this segment of the population.…”

“…A number of studies in the current review focused on the risk of suicide and suicidal behaviour in children and adolescents suffering from asthma, and indicated that young individuals who are suffering from asthma may be at an increased risk of suicide mortality [23], ideation [18] and attempts [20,24,31]. Studies also explored the potential impact of risk-taking behaviours in this age group, finding that a large percentage of children who experienced suicidal behaviour had engaged in cigarette smoking (40%), marijuana use (60%) and binge drinking (37%) [20].…”

“…The three papers focusing solely on suicidal ideation found significant associations between asthma and suicidal ideation in children [17], adults [18] and elderly adults aged >65 years [25]. The majority of studies including both suicidal ideation and attempts found that asthma was associated with increased risk of both ideation and attempts in adults [16,28] and children [20,24,31]. Two of the papers reported less conclusive results: the study by CLARKE et al [22] was the only one to find that asthma was associated with suicidal ideation including attempt(s), but not with suicidal ideation alone.…”

The relationship between asthma and suicidal behaviours: a systematic literature review

Asthma is a highly prevalent chronic condition worldwide, and is particularly common in younger people compared to other chronic conditions. Asthma can result in a number of symptoms that are detrimental to the quality of life of sufferers. The aim of the present systematic literature review was to analyse the existing literature on the relationship between asthma and fatal and nonfatal suicidal behaviours.Articles were retrieved from Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest and Web of Knowledge. We searched for the terms (suicid* OR self-harm) AND (asthma* OR "bronchial hyperreactivity") published in Englishlanguage peer-reviewed journals between 1990 and December 2014. Original research papers providing empirical evidence about the potential link between asthma and suicidal behaviours were included.The initial search identified 746 articles. Specific limiting criteria reduced the number of articles to the 19 articles that were finally included in the systematic review.The review found a potential link between asthma and suicide mortality, ideation and attempts across the age groups. Limitations of the review include the restriction to English-language papers published within the chosen time period, the limited number of papers involving suicide mortality, and the fact that the majority of papers originated from the USA. @ERSpublications Systematic literature review suggests potential link between asthma and suicide mortality, ideation and attempts http://ow.ly/Jowfs
