“…Findings from Ecuador, a LAMIC, show that between 2001 and 2015, 13,024 lives were lost to suicide, representing a substantial number of the population with long-lasting impacts on those left behind (2). Evidence indicates that suicides among adolescents and young adults (aged 15 to 24) in Ecuador have been increasing over the past few years, with estimated annual suicide rates of 6.27-6.48 per 100,000 among young people aged 10-19 from 2000 to 2009 (3,4). Another study calculated the overall age-adjusted suicide rates in Ecuador from 2001 to 2014 among all age groups and found this to be 7.1 per 100,000 with men being three times more likely to die by suicide when compared to women (2).…”

“…Similar a lo encontrado en otros estudios ( 6 , 22 , 23 ), la mortalidad por suicidio en las regiones de Chile y a nivel nacional fue mayor en los jóvenes que en los adolescentes, y mayor entre hombres que en mujeres. Esto indica que es importante realizar esfuerzos de prevención del suicidio en edades tempranas.…”

“…En un estudio realizado con la población general se han estimado tasas de suicidio más altas en la Sierra y en la Amazonía (la mayor parte de cuya población es indígena) que en la Costa y la Región Insular. En las dos primeras zonas predominan problemas sociales como la migración y el abuso de drogas y de alcohol, que, a su vez, están asociados con un elevado riesgo de suicidio (Gerstner, et al, 2018), (Ricardo, J., & Vázquez, I., 2019).…”
