In Australia the national youth suicide statistics are alarming. Suicide accounts for 38 per cent of the deaths among young people aged 15-24 years old. Understanding the factors that contribute to an increased risk of youth suicide is complex. In particular, examinations of the role of childhood experiences of (domestic and family violence) DFV as a lethality indicator remain scarce.
