TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Confucian values, negative life events, and rural young suicide with major depression in China JO - OMEGA - Journal of death and dying A1 - Jia, Cun-xian A1 - Zhang, Jie SP - 3 EP - 14 VL - 26 IS - 1 N2 - The aim of this research was to understand the characteristics of rural young suicides with major depression in China and the relationship of these events with Confucian values and negative life events. Our cases were 90 rural suicides with major depression with victims aged 15 to 34 years and living matched controls of the same gender, age (within 3 years), and county of residence. Confucian values appear to be a protective factor for men but a risk factor for women with regard to suicide with major depression. More attention should be paid to Confucian values in suicide prevention efforts.
