Room: Virtual Poster Presentation
Presentation Type:Virtual Poster Presentation
Background: The prevalence rate of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) consistently increases in Korea, and the suicide rate is higher in older agegroups. Recent studies indicate that suicidal behaviors and ADHD share common genetic factors related to impulsivity, leading to suicidal behavior. The Ministry ofHealth and Welfare has initiated suicide prevention education which students and employees working at public institutions must undergo. Objectives & Methods: This study examines 1) whether suicide prevention education mentions ADHD prevention and 2) how the education approaches learners toprevent suicide and ADHD, especially at school. Short interviews and observational research will be designed. Hypothesis & Discussion: Suicide prevention education addresses how to handle a few different mental disorders that can lead to suicidal ideation/behaviors.However, ADHD is not specifically mentioned in the education. Additional attention to the potential impact of ADHD on suicide is required to prevent suicide.
