Although suicide is a potentially preventable condition, it has remained global leading cause of death. The factors associated with death by suicide are similar to those identified in persons with suicidal ideation and attempts (Oppong Asante et al., 2021; Quarshie et al., 2021; Liu et al., 2023; Zhao et al., 2023). For effective formulation of preventive strategies to be put in place, there is need to first understand the modifiable risk factors and the possible protective factors that need to be enhanced. Studies conducted in one geographical region cannot necessarily apply in another (Zheng et al., 2023). This editorial summarizes data from recent studies among children and adolescents in low and middle income counties (LMICs).
