Abstract
Suicide is a health priority and one of the most common causes of death in mood disorders. One of the limitations of this type of research is that studies often establish rates of suicide behaviors in mood disorders by using diverse comparison groups or simply monitoring cohort of patients over a time period. In this registry-based systematic review, national registers were identified through searches in six academic databases, and information about the occurrence of suicide behaviors in mood disorders was systematically extracted. Odds ratios were subsequently calculated comparing rates of death by suicide in mood disorders in comparison with age and period matched rates of death by suicide in the general population obtained from country-wide national registers. The aim was to provide the most recent summary of epidemiological and clinical factors associated to suicide in mood disorders whilst calculating the likelihood of death by suicide in mood disorders in comparison with non-affected individuals according to national databases. The study follows the Preferred Reporting Guidelines for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses and was prespecify registered on Prospero (CRD42020186857). Results suggest that patients with mood disorders are at substantially increased risk of attempting and dying by suicide. Several epidemiological, clinical and social factors are reported to be associated with clinical populations at risk of suicide. Meta-analyses of completed deaths by suicide suggest that the likelihood for dying by suicide in mood disorders is 8.62 times higher in major depression and 8.66 times higher in bipolar disorder with higher number of untoward events in women compared to men in both conditions. The likelihood of dying by suicide in major depressive disorders is higher in the first year following discharge. Clinical guidelines might consider longer periods of monitoring following discharge from hospital. Overall, due to the higher risk of suicide in mood disorders, efforts should be made to increase detection and prevention whilst focusing on reducing risk in the most severe forms of illness with appropriate treatment to promote response and remission at the earliest convenience.

Abstract
Community-based research has found racial differences in suicide attempts for Black and White men and in how men are treated after a suicide attempt; however, prison-based research has largely not explored such differences. This study examined racial differences in the circumstances of incarcerated men's suicide attempts and investigated health care disparities in staff responses to these suicide attempts. With administrative data from three state prisons over a 5-year period, we conducted a latent class analysis to explore patterns of suicide attempts for 207 incarcerated men. We examined race as a predictor of class membership. Black men were more likely than White men to use a method of hanging/suffocation for attempting suicide, and they were also commonly subjected to segregation when they attempted suicide. Black men were less likely to receive health care post-attempt than White men. Given the findings of this study, several key researches, practices, and policy directions are needed to prevent suicide and promote the health and well-being of incarcerated men, particularly incarcerated Black men.

Abstract
Identifying and integrating the neural correlates of suicidal ideation and behaviors is crucial to expand the knowledge and develop targeted strategies to prevent suicide. This review aimed to describe the neural correlates of suicidal ideation, behavior and the transition between them, using different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modalities, providing an up-to-date overview of the literature. To be included, the observational, experimental, or quasi-experimental studies must include adult patients currently diagnosed with major depressive disorder and investigate the neural correlates of suicidal ideation, behavior and/or the transition using MRI. The searches were conducted on PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge and Scopus. Fifty articles were included in this review: 22 on suicidal ideation, 26 on suicide behaviors and two on the transition between them. The qualitative analysis of the included studies suggested alterations in the frontal, limbic and temporal lobes in suicidal ideation associated with deficits in emotional processing and regulation, and in the frontal, limbic, parietal lobes, and basal ganglia in suicide behaviors associated with impairments in decision-making. Gaps in the literature and methodological concerns were identified and might be addressed in future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Substantial evidence shows that childhood maltreatment and sleep duration play important roles in the development of suicide. However, the role of sleep duration in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and suicide behaviors, including suicide ideation, plan and attempt, was not fully understood. This study investigated the association among childhood maltreatment, sleep duration and suicide behaviors. METHODS 13,454 students from a polytechnic college in Shenzhen of China participated in this cross-sectional study. Multivariate logistic regression model was established to analyze the relationship among childhood maltreatment, sleep duration and suicide behaviors. RESULTS The most reported subtype of childhood maltreatment was physical neglect, which were reported by 41.57 % of males, 28.59 % of females. The positive association of physical abuse with suicide behaviors was observed. In females, emotional abuse and neglect were positively associated with suicide behaviors. In addition, almost all childhood maltreatment was significantly associated to decreased sleep duration. Moreover, compared to the sleep duration <6 h group, sleep duration was inversely associated to suicide behaviors. CONCLUSION Childhood maltreatment was positively associated with suicide ideation, plan and attempt in Chinese young adults. Meanwhile, childhood maltreatment was negatively associated with sleep duration, which were negatively associated with suicide ideation, plan and attempt.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bullying and suicidal behaviors are a silent public health problem among adolescents. Little is known about the link between bullying and suicidal behaviors in low-income countries such as Tanzania. In the current study, we estimated the prevalence of being bullied and determined its association with suicidal behaviors among in-school adolescents. METHODS We performed a secondary analysis of the Tanzania Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) conducted in 2014. This was the first nationally representative survey conducted to a sample of 3793 in-school adolescents. The primary independent variable was being bullied, while the outcome variables of interest were suicide ideation and suicide attempt. We used a chi-square χ2 test for group variables comparisons and multivariate logistic regression for statistical associations between independent and outcome variables. In our analysis, a p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant at 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS The prevalence of being bullied among 3793 surveyed in-school adolescents was 27.0%. In an adjusted multivariate regression model, being bullied was independently associated with suicidal ideation and suicide attempt: [AOR; 1.9, 95% C.I; 1.5-2.4], and [AOR; 3.6, 95% C.I; 2.9-4.5] respectively, p < 0.001. CONCLUSIONS Bullying is prevalent and possibly a potential predictor of suicidal behaviors among in-school adolescents in Tanzania. There is a need for all educational stakeholders: teachers, parents, students, mental health professionals, and policymakers to design a program for mitigating the problem of bullying in schools.

Abstract
Suicide is a leading cause of death among young adults; however, contextual risks and cultural factors are rarely studied in the context of ethnic minority suicidal ideation (SI) and suicidal attempt (SA). This study assessed the association between familial incarceration and suicide behaviors and examined ethnic identity as a potential moderator. Data from a longitudinal study of health among Hispanics (n = 1,094) in California were used to test associations between familial incarceration, ethnic identity, and SA and SI, adjusting for demographic factors and covariates. Approximately 18% and 8% of respondents reported SI and SA, respectively. Compared to no incarceration, or the incarceration of a relative, parental incarceration was associated with higher odds (AOR: 2.09, 95% CI: 1.23-3.34) of SI whereas higher affective ethnic identity reduced the odds (AOR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.31-0.89) of SA. Ethnic identity moderated the association between parental incarceration and SI (AOR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.13-0.79). Incarceration of a family member can set the stage for exclusion from critical institutions and can have long-term consequences for adult mental health. Promoting a positive ethnic identity may be a promising prevention strategy that could bolster resilience among at-risk, urban minority youth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Suicidal behaviors among adolescents is a major public health concern. Psychological factors have been extensively studied known risks linked to suicidal behaviors in the general population. However, the association between food insecurity and suicidal behaviors is less researched, particularly in low and middle-income countries. The present study sought to assess the link between food insecurity and suicide behaviors among in-school adolescents. METHODS The present study was based on the secondary analysis of the first nationally representative sample of the 2014 Tanzania Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS). A total sample of 3,793 in-school adolescents was included in the present analysis. The primary independent variable was food insecurity while the dependent variables of interest were suicide ideation and suicide attempt. Chi-square χ2 and multivariate logistic regression were used to ascertain the measure of statistical association. In all analyses, a p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Of the 3,793 in-school adolescents, 254 (6·7%) were food insecure. A significantly large proportion of adolescents with suicidal ideation and suicidal attempt were food insecure than their counterparts, respectively. In the adjusted multivariate model, food insecure adolescents were more likely to have experienced suicidal ideation and suicidal attempt: [AOR; 1·8 95% C. I; 1·3-2·5] and [AOR; 2·4, 95% C. I; 1·7-3·3]; p < 0.001, respectively. CONCLUSION Food insecurity was an independent predictor of suicidal behaviors among in-school adolescents. An intervention that targets food security at the school level may protect adolescents of food insecure household from suicidal behaviors. Nevertheless, school-based mental health screening, evaluation, and promotion may be needed for adolescents with suicidal behaviors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the prevalence of smoking and drug use among adolescent boys, and to examine adolescents' psychosocial factors, and suicidal behaviors associated with adolescents' substance use. METHODS The Kuwait Global School-Based Student Health Survey employed a two-stage cluster sample design targeting a representative sample of adolescents. This study focused on the participated 1310 boys. Statistical analysis included Chi-square test, student t-test, and multivariate analysis. RESULTS The mean age was 14.5 ± 0.03 years. The reported prevalence of: smoking, ever drug use, and both smoking and drug use were 26.6% (95% CI:24.2-29.1%) and 7.4% (95% CI:6.1-9.0%) and 5.5% (95% CI:4.4-6.9%) respectively. Logistic regression model analysis revealed that adolescents whose parents smoke, suffered from insomnia, were victims of bullying, and had negative social school environment, were more likely than others to be smokers, drug users or both. Addendum, suicidal ideation, and its combination with suicidal planning and/or suicidal attempt were significantly associated with smoking. The odds of these life-threatening behaviors increased when drug use was reported and augmented when both smoking and drug use were experienced. CONCLUSIONS Prevalence of smoking and illicit drug use were high among adolescent boys. This study confirmed the association between adolescents' smoking and substance use with psychosocial context, and suicidal behaviors. Addressing these predictors would be crucial in the development of effective strategies targeting the prevention of smoking and substance use, which might consequently reduce suicidal behaviors among adolescents.
