abstract="In Germany, suicide is the second cause of death among 15-24 years olds. Several studies have focused on risk factors and rates, but only a few have analyzed the impact of cultural aspects on youth suicide. This study aimed at exploring the cultural meaning, beliefs, attitudes and opinions among young German people in relation to suicide. Two-hundred and ten German students aged 18-24 years olds participated in the study by filling in a semi-structured questionnaire. The main results showed that gender, suicidal risk, and ethnic identity have a strong influence on students' opinions regarding reasons and attitudes associated with youth suicide.
