ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Our objective was to analyze reports of COVID-19 related suicides (CRS) to identify associated factors with a broader goal to inform management and prevention strategies.

METHODS:

We searched scientific literature, government websites and online newspaper reports in English and nine regional languages to identify relevant CRS reports.

RESULTS:

A total of 151 CRS reports were retrieved. CRS was more frequently reported among males (80.8%), those whose COVID status was unknown (48.0%), and those in quarantine/isolation (49.0%).

CONCLUSION:

The above findings may assist identification of at-risk individuals for COVID-19 related suicidal behavior.
