Authors: Lounis, Lilia, Jacqdom, Lovena, and Elgar, Frank J.
Overview
Abstract (English)
Youth suicide, a major cause of death, is linked to poverty and other adverse experiences. Evidence of its association with food insecurity is unclear due to inadequate controls for household income in previous research. This cross-sectional study used independent reports of household income, food insecurity, and suicidal behaviours to examine these associations in a population-based sample.
