MGMathieu GlaizalMPMatthieu PetitCSCorinne Schmitt

Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate the relationship between paediatric suicidal poisonings and the school calendar in France, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • National level analysis of poisoning data from French Poison Centres
  • Focus on incidences related to school timings and gender differences
  • Findings show a significant increase in suicidal poisonings among girls during school periods
  • Persisting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on suicidal attempts noted among the same group

Abstract

At the French national level, our findings illustrate both the persistence of the "COVID-19 effect" of increased paediatric suicidal poisonings, particularly in girls, after the pandemic; and the strong association between these attempts and school time, specifically among girls and regardless of the pandemic.
