Improvement of work on suicide prevention in the Arctic zone of Yakutia
The article presents an analysis of suicide cases in the Yakut Arctic from 2013 to 2023, which showed that the root cause of enormous suicide rate in the Arctic should be considered a socioeconomic factor rather than an ethnocultural one. Moreover, alcoholism, lack of employment and low level of education cause a crucial role.The study of the suicide problem emphasizes the need to create a suidological register and introduce targeted suicide prevention programs, which will be an important step in improving the mental health of the population of Yakutia.
