Abstract

Purpose of review: We review recent research (2018-2023) on gender differences in suicidal behaviors (i.e., suicidal ideations and attempts, death by suicide). We examine research studies in the following areas: developmental period, substance use, and special populations (Veterans, sexual and gender minorities).

Recent findings: Novel results were found in these different areas. For example, suicide rates for female youth are increasing at a faster rate relative to male youth. Further, some evidence suggests that heavy alcohol use/binge drinking is a significant and growing risk factor for suicidal behaviors in women. Military service may be a more significant risk factor for suicidal behaviors among male Veterans compared to female Veterans. Additionally, suicide rates are rising for gender minority youth/young adults. Recent research on gender differences in suicide outcomes demonstrates findings that align with previous research, as well as new insights on this important topic.

美国自杀风险和自杀行为的性别差异：叙事综述。

综述目的：我们回顾了最近（2018-2023年）关于自杀行为（即自杀意念和企图、自杀死亡）的性别差异的研究。我们研究了以下领域的研究：发育期、药物使用和特殊人群（退伍军人、性少数群体和性别少数群体）。最近的发现：在这些不同领域发现了新的结果。例如，女性青年的自杀率比男性青年增长得更快。此外，一些证据表明，大量饮酒/酗酒是女性自杀行为的一个重要且日益严重的风险因素。与女性退伍军人相比，服役可能是男性退伍军人自杀行为的更重要风险因素。此外，少数性别青年/年轻人的自杀率正在上升。最近关于自杀结果性别差异的研究表明，这些发现与之前的研究一致，并对这一重要主题有了新的见解。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to review the most important, recently published research in psychiatry. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by psychiatric disorders. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as anxiety, medicopsychiatric disorders, and schizophrenia and other related psychotic disorders. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
