“…A distinct factor contributing to the risk of suicide attempt for the North Korean respondents was household type (i.e., living with friends, alone, or in a dormitory or living in a facility). Previous studies have also found that household type was associated with the risk of suicidal behaviors; for example, one recent study [19] found that children and adolescents in care settings (e.g., foster care, kinship care, and so on) had higher risk of suicide attempt. This increased risk could be explained by these children's relatively high exposure to risk factors such as physical or sexual abuse, neglect, or family disorganization [20].…”

Objectives: There is an increasing number of North Korean adolescents in South Korea. These adolescents need clinical attention as they experience a high risk of suicidal behavior because of the childhood adversity and acculturative challenges that they face before and after arriving in South Korea. This study assessed the risk of suicide attempts among North Korean adolescents compared to South Korean adolescents, and investigated the contributing factors for each group. Methods: We used data from the Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey (KYRBS) spanning 2011 to 2018, in which 404 adolescents had a father and/or mother who was a North Korean native. Data on 1,212 propensity-matched South Korean adolescents were extracted from the 2011 to 2018 KYRBS. Prevalence was calculated and compared by group. Separate odds ratios were calculated by group. Results: The North Korean group had a significantly higher suicide attempt rate [unadjusted odds ratio (OR)=8.27; adjusted OR=8.45]. Multivariate analysis indicated that having a low or high socioeconomic status and depressive symptoms were significantly associated with suicide attempts in North Korean adolescents, while being female, having a high socioeconomic status, alcohol use, and depressive symptoms were significantly related to suicide attempts in South Korean adolescents. Conclusion: The results found similarities and differences in the factors associated with the likelihood of suicide attempts in the two groups. From these results, different approaches are needed when planning interventions for each group.

“…Research continues to depict a bleak future for looked after children; predicting inauspicious health and social outcomes [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Although, research in LAC is still limited; poor outcomes associated with mental health, disability, suicide, criminal system involvement, teenage parenthood, substance misuse and educational attainment have become the predicted 'norm' for these children [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. These discouraging findings have prompted governments to address these concerns; positioning this population at the forefront of policy and legislation [9,10].…”

Background: A looked after child (LAC) is defined as a child or young adult, that has been placed in either a foster care, kinship, residential or adoption care setting. While embedded in the care of these services, these children still develop debilitating disorders that significantly impact their future overall wellbeing. Prevalence of these disorders are often depicted under broad, umbrella categories such as mental, behavioural or developmental disorders. What specific disorders fall under these broad categories is limited in research. This review aims to explore the prevalence and early impacts of neurodevelopmental disorders in the LAC and if feasible, compare prevalence with those children who are not looked after (NoN-LAC). Disorders such as dyslexia, bipolar and autism which are classified as neurodevelopmental or associated disorders in the expert field of genetics and neuropsychiatry will be explored. These disorders significantly impact on emotions, memory, ability to learn and socialize and are diagnosed solely based on behaviour. As a result; attaining a diagnosis can take years due to the associated complex behavioural symptomology.With an increasing rate of children entering the care system on a global level; it is an appropriate time to examine the prevalence and impact of these neurodevelopmental disorders in this already, vulnerable population.Methods: A literature search will be conducted using several multiple databases such as PubMed, PsychINFO and Web of Science Core Collection. Secondary literature, grey literature and government publications will also be searched systematically to further identify any eligible studies. Children involved in foster, residential, adopted or kinship care will be identified as a LAC. NoN-LAC will be children who are not placed in the looked after care setting. The age limit is 25 years as the review aims to explore the earlier impacts these disorders may have on the overall wellbeing of these children. Appropriate statistical techniques will be utilised and adapted throughout the review dependent on the research designs of the eligible studies. Discussion: This review could identify gaps in LAC research and potentially contribute to the understanding of the adverse life outcomes that many of these children are predicted to attain.

“…Estos estudios evidencian dificultades en áreas como la educación, la inserción laboral, los ingresos económicos, el acceso a la vivienda, la salud mental, las conductas suicidas, el abuso de substancias y las conductas delictivas. Los datos señalan el alto nivel de vulnerabilidad de esta población, con peores resultados que los obtenidos por niños procedentes de familias pobres (para revisión consultar, Gypen, Vanderfaeillie, De Maeyer, Belenger, & Van Holen, 2017;Kääriälä, & Hiilamo, 2017;Evans, White, Turley, Slater, Morgan, Strange, & Scourfield, 2017). Resultados similares han sido observados en estudios con población española (Bernal & Melendro, 2014;Bravo & Fernández del Valle, 2003;Martin, Muñoz, Rodríguez, & Pérez, 2008;Montserrat, Cases, & Bertran, 2013;Oriol-Granado, Sala-Roca, & Filella, 2014, 2015Sainero, Del Valle, & Bravo, 2015;Sala-Roca, Jariot, Villaba, & Rodríguez, 2009).…”
