The mean annual rates of hospital admission for deliberate self-poisoning were calculated for Caucasian and Asian 12-15-year-olds between 1982 and 1990 as 2.31 and 2.47 per 1000 respectively. There was an excess of girls in each group.
A study of self-poisoning in 25 Asian and 25 Caucasian adolescents is presented. Cultural conflicts were the most important factors in the parasuicidal behaviour of Asian children, whereas a variety of factors accounted for the parasuicidal behaviour of Caucasians with a predominance of a disrupted family background. There was little difference in the type of poisoning and the degree of pre-planning between the two groups.
