Tajikistan · 2016–2022 · Ages 0–19
In 2022, about 0.76 out of every 100,000 children aged 0–19 in Tajikistan died by suicide. Over the last 5 years the rate has been broadly flat. 202 deaths in total.
Suicides are expressed as "# per 100,000 per year," but in some jurisdictions this means that we are converting very small numbers into rates (14/400,000 population, for example). Because of this, small changes in numbers of death can create 'bumpy' rate charts. The whole purpose of the confidence intervals and statistical significance on this page is to help you understand what is simply noise and what may be a true change.
This chart groups age "0-19" suicides, but it's important to note that 0-19 is really not what we are looking at. Suicides under 10 are extremely rare (<1 per million person years), and suicide rates increase with age all the way to age 19. So the "pool" of 0-19 is describing 19 year old suicides (12.3 per 100,000) more than it's describing 10 year old suicides (0.4 per 100,000), by a large margin. It is best to think of the "0-19" number as including young children but mostly being older adolescents.
Be cautious comparing jurisdictions like states or countries; there are huge differences in culture, methods available, ethnicity, poverty, and other variables. It's even been shown that religious coroners are less likely to adjudicate findings of suicide than non-religious coroners!
WHO grades Tajikistan’s cause-of-death data “low”. For the Global Health Estimates, WHO rates a country’s vital registration on how complete it is and what share of deaths carry a usable cause code, then sorts the result into high, medium, low and very low. Registration here is 84% complete for ages 15 and over. A death that was never registered, or registered to a cause nobody can use, is not in the figures on this page, so read them as a floor rather than as a count.
Female: In 2022, the rate was 0.78 per 100,000 per year, compared to 0.97 per 100,000 per year in 2016. That is no significant change (confidence interval −57% to +53%). Male: In 2022, the rate was 0.74 per 100,000 per year, compared to 0.68 per 100,000 per year in 2016. That is no significant change (confidence interval −46% to +120%).
Every page on this site was looked at by me, one at a time, before it was published. This is exactly what that involved, and what it did not.
What I checked
What I did not
Automated checks ran over every page and I read their output. A language model was used on some pages to suggest things worth a second look; nothing it produced is published, and nothing it said stands as a finding on its own.
A review is a point in time. If the data behind a page changes afterwards, the page does not ship again until it has been looked at again — that rule is enforced when the site is deployed, not left to memory.
