Abstract:
Globally, suicide and suicidal behaviors among adolescents and other youth continue to be a serious public health concern.1-3 The influence of war events such as displacement, injuries, continuous bombardments, witnessing atrocities and deaths, the relentless exposure to violent images and messages in the media is associated with acute stress, increased post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and functional impairments.4 Similarly, lack of schooling and support systems in war settings and the associated risk of psychopathology put war-affected populations, especially adolescents and young adults, at an increased risk of suicidal ideation and behaviors and self-harm.2.
