Immigrants
Borges et al 2009 found that "Risk for suicidal ideation was higher among Mexicans with a family member in the United States, Mexican-born immigrants who arrived in the United States at 12 years or younger, and US-born Mexican Americans than among Mexicans with neither a history of migration to the United States nor a family member currently living there. Risk for suicide attempts was also higher among Mexicans with a family member in the United States."[4]
Suicide tourism
A number of people come to Mexico for access to Pentobarbital, a drug used for euthanasia.[5][6]
