Abstract

Although most immigrants seem to successfully managethe challenges their immigration process entails, suicidemortality of minority groups has become an importantpublic concern, particularly in countries with growingsegments of immigrant populations such as Norway. Thepresent article aimed to summarize insights into suicideamong various immigrant populations, obtained bythree Norwegian studies we recently conducted utilizingthe unique possibilities of national population registers.First-generation immigrants had a relatively lower riskof suicide than native Norwegians, whereas the risks forpeople with mixed Norwegian and immigrant backgroundwere significantly higher. Suicide risk was associated with arange of socio-economic disadvantages in all populations,but the strength of the association differed by specific immigrationbackground, with a generally weaker association infirst-generation-immigrants than natives. In the meantime,there were notable differences in characteristics of suicideby immigration background with respect to method ofsuicide, month of the year when suicide occurred, and timeto suicide since immigration. All these insights underscorethe importance of treating immigrants as a very heterogeneousgroup, and differences in suicides by specificimmigration background should be considered whenplanning public health policies and prevention measuresin order to more effectively tailor these measures to at-riskimmigrant populations.4 suicidologi nr 1/2019 FAGARTIKKEL

挪威移民背景对自杀率、风险和特征的洞察
尽管大多数移民似乎成功地应对了移民过程中所带来的挑战,但少数群体的自杀死亡率已成为一个重要的公众关注问题,特别是在挪威等移民人口不断增长的国家。本文旨在总结对不同移民人口自杀的见解,我们最近利用国家人口登记的独特可能性进行了三项挪威研究。与挪威本地人相比,第一代移民的自杀风险相对较低,而挪威人和移民背景混合的人的自杀风险明显更高。在所有人群中,自杀风险都与一系列社会经济劣势相关,但这种关联的强度因特定的移民背景而异,第一代移民的关联通常比本地人弱。同时,在自杀方式、自杀发生年份、移民后自杀时间等方面,移民背景的自杀特征存在显著差异。所有这些见解都强调了将移民视为一个非常多样化的群体的重要性,在规划公共卫生政策和预防措施时应考虑特定移民背景在自杀方面的差异,以便更有效地针对有风险的移民人群量身定制这些措施。4自杀学家1/2019 FAGARTIKKEL
