“…Although there were gender differences in the factors associated with suicide attempts, the present results showed that socioeconomic status (SES) indicators such as education, income, employment, and social assistance, were significantly associated with suicide attempts. Previous research has shown that low SES characteristics are directly associated with the risks of suicide (19) and suicide attempts (14). Strong connections with family and community support may be protective factors against suicide.…”

“…Although many risk factors for suicide attempts have been identified (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15), more effective intervention strategies for mental health and suicide prevention can be developed when the gender-specific underlying risk factors for suicide attempts are better understood (16). To our knowledge, however, few studies have examined gender-specific risk factors for suicide attempts in a large general population.…”

We identified traditional risk factors and investigated poorly understood risk factors for suicide attempts according to gender in a large Korean population. We analyzed the data from 6,768 males and 12,475 females with suicidal ideation obtained from the nationwide 2013 Korean Community Health Survey. The dependent variable was suicide attempts within the past year. There was a significant trend towards an increase in suicide attempts with decreasing age in both genders. Compared with those who were married, suicide attempts were significantly higher among those who were widowed, divorced, or separated for males (odds ratio [OR], 2.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.34-3.20), but lower for females (OR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.45-0.98). Current smoking and depression were significant risk factor for suicide attempts in males and females. However, monthly household income, myocardial infarction, and osteoporosis were significantly associated with suicide attempts only in males, whereas education level, recipient of National Basic Livelihood Security, family contact, leisure activity, and drinking frequency were significantly associated only in females. These findings indicate that gender difference should be considered in the assessment, prevention, and management of future suicide attempts by community policy-makers and clinicians.

“…(2) Many factors that additionally contribute to suicidality were excluded from the model. Other relevant factors are social support in general (Kleiman and Liu, 2013) and in this context probably family situation in particular (Fukuchi et al, 2013;Schneider et al, 2014) as well as socio-economic status (Aschan et al, 2013). Some were not assessed in the ESEMeD study, and others were left out in order to keep the model interpretable.…”

“…In a crosssectional community survey, non-participation in the workforce was shown to be a particularly important socioeconomic risk factor for suicidal behaviour [11]. Recent evidence relating to the current economic downturn suggests that suicides associated with unemployment have increased and now account for around 20 % of all suicides [12].…”

Self-harm usually occurs in the context of multiple life problems. Clinical services for self-harm patients should have access to appropriate care for provision of help for relationship difficulties and problems concerning alcohol and mental health issues. Individualised clinical support (e.g. psychological therapy, interventions for alcohol problems and relationship counselling) for self-harm patients facing these life problems may play a crucial role in suicide prevention.
