This is a revised proposal requesting small grant support to conduct a pioneering project to study suicide in China. The high suicide rates in China, especially those for rural young women in China have recently been noticed by the international community with China's open door policy. So far, no scientific and systematic studies have been accomplished to investigate the leading cause of premature death in China, where the overall suicide rate is one of the highest in the world and approximately 56 percent of the world's female suicides - about 500 a day - occur in China. The long term goal of our research team is to develop and test suicide prevention measures that are efficient and effective for use by young women in rural China, as well as other populations in China. The current small grant is proposed to conduct a feasibility study of psychological autopsy (PA) to be later used in China for a larger scale survey on the effect of mental health on Chinese suicide. Instruments commonly used in the US need to be pilot studied for their reliability and validity with Chinese samples. In addition, we will make full use of the data, if feasibility and instrument tests are passed, to conduct some exploratory studies to examine some very basic questions in Chinese suicide. Dalian Medical University in China will collaborate to collect data. The aim for this project are as follows: (1). To examine the feasibility of the psychological autopsy (PA) method for the studies of completed suicides in China using rural suicides aged 15-49 (n=65) and matched normal controls (n=65) (2). To test the reliability and validity of the instruments to be used in future studies with rural Chinese suicides aged 15-9 and matched normal controls (3). To pilot study the effects of psychiatric status, suicidal intent, life events, and social support on Chinese rural young female suicide with a case control design.

这是一项修订后的提案，要求提供小额赠款支持，以在中国开展自杀研究的开创性项目。近年来，中国特别是农村年轻女性的自杀率居高不下，随着中国的门户开放政策，引起了国际社会的关注。 迄今为止，尚未完成科学和系统的研究来调查中国过早死亡的主要原因，中国的总体自杀率是世界上最高的国家之一，约占世界女性自杀率的 56%（每天约 500 人）。发生在中国。我们研究团队的长期目标是开发和测试高效、有效的自杀预防措施，供中国农村的年轻女性以及中国其他人群使用。目前的小额赠款拟用于进行心理尸检（PA）的可行性研究，以便稍后在中国用于更大规模的调查，了解心理健康对中国自杀的影响。 美国常用的仪器需要用中国样本进行可靠性和有效性的试点研究。另外，如果可行性和仪器测试通过的话，我们将充分利用这些数据，进行一些探索性研究，来审视中国人自杀的一些非常基本的问题。中国大连医科大学将合作收集数据。本项目的目标如下：（1）． 使用 15-49 岁农村自杀者 (n=65) 和匹配的正常对照 (n=65) 来检验心理尸检 (PA) 方法对中国完成自杀事件研究的可行性 (2)。 测试未来研究中使用的工具的可靠性和有效性，其中包括 15-9 岁的中国农村自杀者和匹配的正常对照 (3)。 通过病例对照设计初步研究精神状况、自杀意图、生活事件和社会支持对中国农村年轻女性自杀的影响。
