abstract: 'Background: Suicidal ideation is a strong antecedent of suicidal
behavior, associated with increased likelihood of suicide. Thus,
suicidal ideation serves to identify which groups are at more risk of
suicide and has policy implications for targeting groups to prevent
suicide. Aims: A substantial body of research has addressed potential
determinants of suicide ideation in Korea. Little attention has been
paid, however, to analyzing the extent to which socioeconomic
attainments (education, household income, and employment status) are
associated with risk of suicidal ideation, drawing on nationally
representative data. Methods: Data were drawn from the 2012 Korea
Welfare Panel Study (KOWEPS). Among the 12,606 respondents, the findings
are based on 1,500 young adults (age 18-35) and 3,469 middle-aged adults
(age 36-55) who answered a question about suicidal ideation. Results:
For young adults, respondents from 2-year and 4-year colleges and higher
had lower probabilities of suicidal ideation compared with respondents
from high school. People out of the labor force also exhibited an
elevated risk of suicidal ideation compared with those in waged
employment. Middle-aged adults displayed different patterns. Middle-aged
respondents from 4-year colleges or higher had an increased likelihood
of suicidal ideation. The likelihood of reporting suicidal ideation was
predicted to decrease as household income increased only for middle-aged
adults. Conclusions: The information about suicidal ideation was
obtained from only one question of self-response, which limits the
validity of the suicidal ideation measurement. The cross-sectional
setting of the data prevents us from estimating causal relationships.
Nevertheless, the findings imply that age-specific policy should be
implemented to ameliorate differential risk for suicidal ideation and
benefit public mental health in the long run.'
