In Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), 60% of the population has lost a family member or a close friend to suicide. The study aimed to investigate the association between suicide-related loss of a close family member before the age of 10 and later suicide incidence. The study was a nationwide study using data from the central population register and register of causes of death including 25\u2009663 individuals born between 1983 and 2012. Exposure was the loss of a mother, father, or one or more siblings before the age of 10 and outcome was suicide. Follow-up started at age 10 until the time of death, 40th birthday, or the study termination on 31 December 2022. Incidence rates and incidence rate ratios (IRR) were calculated using Poisson regression. Suicide-related loss of a mother was associated with the highest IRR of 3.4 (95% CI: 1.6\u20137.2). Suicide-related loss of a father was associated with an IRR of 1.9 (95% CI: 1\u20133.4), while suicide-related loss of one or more siblings was associated with an IRR of 2.4 (95% CI: 1.3\u20134.3). Transgenerational suicide transmission was identified in individuals who lost a close relative before the age of 10, with the highest IRR for loss of a mother. The high prevalence of suicide-related loss survivors stresses the need for public health strategies to ensure culturally relevant support.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/eurpub\/ckag172","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]],"date-time":"2026-09-09T11:52:43Z","timestamp":1788954763000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Suicide loss of a close family member in childhood and suicide later in life\u2014a nationwide study among Inuit youth in Kalaallit Nunaat"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4956-6326","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivalu K","family":"Seidler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Public Health, University of Southern Denmark , Copenhagen,","place":["Denmark"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janne S","family":"Tolstrup","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Public Health, University of Southern Denmark , Copenhagen,","place":["Denmark"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Allison","family":"Crawford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Outreach and TeleMental Health, , Toronto,","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christina V L","family":"Larsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Public Health, University of Southern Denmark , Copenhagen,","place":["Denmark"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026092116001596200_ckag172-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2089379","DOI":"10.1080\/22423982.2022.2089379","article-title":"Exploring sex-specific time trends in drinking patterns in the Greenlandic population from 1993 to 2014 - a large arctic indigenous population","volume":"81","author":"Seidler","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int J Circumpolar Health"},{"key":"2026092116001596200_ckag172-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102","DOI":"10.1080\/25761900.2022.12220580","article-title":"Rapid socio-cultural change and health in the Arctic","volume":"60","author":"Bjerregaard","year":"2001","journal-title":"Int J Circumpolar Health"},{"key":"2026092116001596200_ckag172-B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"85","DOI":"10.36368\/jns.v10i2.848","article-title":"Health aspects of colonization and the post-colonial period in Greenland 1721 to 2014","volume":"10","author":"Bjerregaard","year":"2017","journal-title":"J North Stud"},{"key":"2026092116001596200_ckag172-B4","first-page":"18","article-title":"Early childhood adversity as a key mechanism by which colonialism is mediated into suicidal behaviour","volume":"5","author":"Crawford","year":"2018","journal-title":"North Public Aff"},{"key":"2026092116001596200_ckag172-B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3089","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.286.24.3089","article-title":"Childhood abuse, household dysfunction, and the risk of attempted suicide throughout the life span: findings from the adverse childhood experiences study","volume":"286","author":"Dube","year":"2001","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"2026092116001596200_ckag172-B6","volume-title":"Suicide Worldwide in 2019 Global Health Estimates","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2021"},{"key":"2026092116001596200_ckag172-B7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"467","DOI":"10.1002\/9780470698976.ch26","volume-title":"The International Handbook of Suicide and Attempted Suicide","author":"Clark S","year":"2000"},{"key":"2026092116001596200_ckag172-B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"529","DOI":"10.1111\/sltb.12450","article-title":"How many people are exposed to suicide?
