Abstract
The age-adjusted prevalence of suicidal behavior among adolescents in Bangladesh is 11.7%.
- Individual psychosocial factors such as loneliness, anxiety, being bullied, and having no close friends are associated with an increased likelihood of suicidal behavior.
- The risk of suicidal behavior is higher among adolescents who engage in health-risk behaviors, including sexual intercourse, alcohol, and drug abuse.
- Social-environmental factors, such as rare parental homework checks and lack of peer support, are positively linked to suicidal behavior.
- A dose-response relationship exists between experiencing multiple adverse psychosocial factors and suicidal behavior.
