Gender-specific study of recurrent suicide attempts in outpatients with multiple substance use disorders

Suicide is a leading cause of premature death worldwide (World Health Organization, 2015). Psychiatric disorders have consistently been involved in increasing the risk for suicide attempts (SA) (World Health Organization, 2015), especially SUDs (Darvishi et al., 2015; Poorolajal et al., 2016), including tobacco use disorder (Poorolajal and Darvishi, 2016). Characterizing the different suicidal phenotypes, which encompass a broad range of symptoms, and their specific risk factors is of utmost relevance for both clinical (Tiet et al., 2006) and research purposes (Oquendo, 2016).
