Abstrakt: | A study conducted by researchers at Sydney Children's Hospitals Network in Australia explored the relationship between ambient temperature and youth suicidality presentations in emergency departments. The research found a positive linear association between higher temperatures and increased youth suicidality rates, with a 1.3% rise in presentations for every 1°C increase in temperature. The study also noted that the impact of temperature on suicidality varied across different climate zones and demographic subgroups, suggesting the need for public health interventions to address the potential effects of rising temperatures on mental health.
