Suicide and self-harm among refugees and asylum seekers

Résumé

In this chapter, a systematic review was carried out to identify nonpopulation-based studies that have investigated suicide and self-harm. The objectives of this review were (a) to examine whether suicide and self-harm are disproportionately found among refugee/asylum seekers, (b) to describe the characteristics of refugees and asylum seekers who attempted self-harm or suicide and compare them with non-refugee groups, and (c) to investigate the methods of self-harm and suicide. We hypothesized that prevalence and methods of self-harm and suicide would differ in refugees and asylum seekers from the general population.
