Abstract "Suicide among American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Canadian aboriginal youth is rising. Although overall rates of completed suicide among American Indians were stable from 1950 to 1980 in the United States, the rates decreased for older populations and increased 200%-300% among those 15-24 years of age. Historically, suicide has not been a sanctioned behavior and has been infrequent; in the last two to three decades, however, youth suicide rates have been on the rise in both the USA and Canada. In the former, the suicide rates among Indian youths are two to three times the national average; in Canada, aboriginal youths on reservations, compared to the general population, are five to six times more likely to die by suicide."..."Both female and male suicide rates are higher than rates for the general population in Canada; status Indian females in Canada are 7.5 times more likely to commit suicide than the general female population; status Indian adolescent males are five times more likly to commit suicide than the average adolescent Canadian male."..."It is estimated that the rates of suicide on Indian reservations are six to seven times higher than the Canadian national average."..."I found no studies that provided an in-depth understanding of cultural values related to Indian youth suicide."..."We found no evidence of controlled experimental studies aimed at measuring the impact of interventions in reducing suicide among Indian youth."
