Suicidal behaviour in national and international adult adoptees: a Swedish cohort study
More than 6,000 international adoptees, 7,000 Swedish domestic adoptees and over one million non-adopted people were compared. Both adoptee groups had elevated risks of suicide attempt and suicide death, with higher relative risks among international adoptees.
Limitations: Associations from Swedish cohorts do not establish that adoption caused the outcomes.
