Suicide in Mexico
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Immigrants
Borges et al 2009 found that "Risk for suicidal ideation was higher among Mexicans with a family member in the United States, Mexican-born immigrants who arrived in the United States at 12 years or younger, and US-born Mexican Americans than among Mexicans with neither a history of migration to the United States nor a family member currently living there. Risk for suicide attempts was also higher among Mexicans with a family member in the United States."[4]
