Suicidal thoughts and behaviors are rising in young Australians. General practitioners (GPs) should screen for hopelessness, drug use, sexual abuse history, and sexuality concerns to assess self-harm risk.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Psychiatry
  • General Practice

Background:

  • Suicidal thinking and behaviors in young people have shown a concerning increase over recent decades.
  • General practitioners (GPs) play a crucial role in identifying at-risk youth within primary care settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key factors predisposing young Australians to suicidal ideation and behaviors.
  • To inform GPs on essential mental health elements to explore during consultations with young patients.

Main Methods:

  • A clinical audit program involving a pre-entry survey.
  • Data collected from over 6000 young Australians attending general practitioner appointments.

Main Results:

  • Several fundamental mental health factors are associated with increased risk of self-harm in young people.

  • Identified risk factors include feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness, specific patterns of drug use, a history of sexual abuse, and concerns regarding sexuality and sexual identity.

    • Conclusions:

    • GPs should proactively explore identified risk factors, even with established patient relationships.
    • A combination of these factors warrants continued exploration of suicide risk assessment by general practitioners.
