Exploring the link between the increase in high-rise buildings and youth jumping suicide in Taiwan: A longitudinal study

CONCLUSION: Despite the rising trend in youth suicides by jumping over the past 11 years, our study refutes the intuitive notion that the increase in high-rise buildings contributes to this trend. It is imperative to identify and address other potential factors, such as academic stress and/or family disruptions, for effective prevention of youth suicide.PMID:38174787 | DOI:10.1111/sltb.13030
