520			_aThis report, commissioned by the Ministry of Health, presents a literature review of the causes and prevention of suicidal behaviours. It provides an updated and extended review of research that was outlined in two earlier documents: "A Review of Evidence: In Our hands: The New Zealand Youth Suicide Prevention Strategy", (Beautrais, 1998), and "A Review of Evidence: Kia Piki te Ora o te Taitamariki: The New Zealand Youth Suicide Prevention Strategy", (Lawson-Te Aho, 1998). The aim of this report is to provide background information to assist in developing a national suicide prevention strategy for all age groups and populations across New Zealand. It also highlights effective intervention strategies. The report is presented in five parts. Part 1 examines a number of trends in suicidal behaviours in New Zealand, including time trends, age and gender differences and suicide methods. Populations at risk of suicide are also considered, and these include youth, Maori children and youth, children in welfare care, older persons, and gay/lesbian/bisexual persons. In part 2, a number of risk factors for suicidal behaviour are explored, including mental health disorders, psychological factors, genetic and biological factors, childhood hardships, stressful life events, and social and demographic factors. Part 3 offers a brief discussion of 'protective factors' in recent research in the area of suicidal behaviours. Part 4 of the report examines suicide as it pertains to different cultural groups. It briefly explores the factors contributing to suicide amongst Maori, Pacific peoples, migrants, refugees, and Asian populations. Part 5 provides a summary of the main themes which arose from the reviews of literature in the previous four sections.
