Risk indicators for attempted suicide for poisoning: a study case-control

Conclusions Being financially dependent on others, having suffered sexual abuse in childhood, having suicidal ideation, a family history of mental disorders and having psychiatric comorbidities were considered indicators of risk in the case group. The regression model demonstrated up to a 94.0% greater chance of attempted suicide by poisoning in the joint presence of four factors. This study is among the first initiatives to broaden the discussion on risk factors for attempted suicide on the national level.
