Study Overview
Brief Summary
Suicide and self-harm are global disease burden that contributes significantly to years of lost life and mortality.
Detailed Description
Self-harm and suicidal ideation represent a significant global public health concern (Knipe et al., 2022), affecting about 14.6 million people yearly (Nichols et al., 2021). Globally, over 700 000 people die by suicide annually (World Health Organization -- WHO, 2023).
Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds, and 77% of global suicides occur in low- and middle-income countries, including Nigeria (WHO, 2023). The psychological impact of suicidal ideation includes continuing high tendencies of self-harm (Jidong et al., 2024).
Despite the increasing rates of suicide and self-harm in Nigeria, this topic is understudied, with no culturally appropriate or sustainable psychological interventions.
