Sociodemographic differences in the risk of suicides in children and young people: a population level linked study in England, 2011 to 2022

We found some similar risk factors in CYP as have been found for adults, including being male and from a Mixed or Multiple ethnic group; however, some, which are protective in adults, including employment status and education, increase the risk of suicide in CYP at the household level. Our findings suggest CYP living in households with better educated parents may be a key group at risk of dying by suicide in England.
