TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Suicide amongst the Inuit of Nunavut: an exploration of life trajectories JO - International journal of environmental research and public health A1 - Affleck, William A1 - Chachamovich, Eduardo A1 - Chawky, Nadia A1 - Beauchamp, Guy A1 - Turecki, Gustavo A1 - Seguin, Monique SP - e1812 EP - e1812 VL - 17 IS - 6 N2 - This article reports results of the life trajectories from 92 Inuit who died by suicide, matched for age and gender with 92 living-controls. A proxy-based procedure and semi-structured interviews with informants were conducted to obtain trajectories of developmental events occurring over the life course for suicide and community-matched controls.

RESULTS from this research indicate two different trajectories that differentiate the control-group from the suicide-group throughout the life course. Even though the number of suicide attempts are similar between both groups, the suicide-group had a more important burden of adversity, which seemed to create a cascading effect, leading to suicide.
