Suicidal behaviours among 13- to 15-year-olds in four southeast Asian countries: Trends and contributing factors.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to describe changes over time in the prevalence and associated factors of suicidal behaviours among 13- to 15-year-olds in Southeast Asian countries.

The population attributable fraction for each risk factor was calculated using multiple logistic regression. Th
