Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Migration has been reported to be associated with higher prevalence of mental disorders and suicidal behaviour. To examine the prevalence of emotional and behavioural difficulties, suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among migrant adolescents and their non-migrant peers. A school-based survey was completed by 11 057 European adolescents as part of the Saving and Empowering Young Lives in Europe (SEYLE) study. A previous suicide attempt was reported by 386 (3.6%) adolescents. Compared with non-migrants, first-generation migrants had an elevated prevalence of suicide attempts (odds ratio (OR) 2.08; 95% CI 1.32-3.26; =0.001 for European migrants and OR 1.86; 95% CI 1.06-3.27; =0.031 for non-European migrants) and significantly higher levels of peer difficulties. Highest levels of conduct and hyperactivity problems were found among migrants of non-European origin. Appropriate mental health services and school-based supports are required to meet the complex needs of migrant adolescents. None. © The Royal College of Psychiatrists 2017.
