“…As mentioned above, men have been reported to use more 'hard' or violent methods (De Leo et al, 2001). Hepple and Quinton (1997) used the Beck Suicide Intent Scale (Beck et al, 1974b) and clinical impression to assess suicide intent, 40% of the sample was deemed to have a high intent, 23% medium and 28% low. Those with high intent scores were more likely to be admitted subsequently.…”

Future studies should include prospective, cross-cultural research with adequate sample sizes and which are population-based. Such approaches might confirm or refute the results generated to date and improve knowledge on factors such as the biological correlates of deliberate self-harm, service utilisation, costs and barriers to health care, and the interaction of these factors. Intervention studies to elucidate the impact of modifying these factors and of specific treatment packages are also needed.

Background: Adjustment disorders are often associated with suicidal behaviour but there is little information regarding the nature of the relationship and the effect of adjustment disorders on the suicidal process. The authors' goal was to investigate the association of adjustment disorders (with depressed mood) and suicide in adolescents by means of a psychological autopsy study. Method: Relatives and other informants of 19 suicide victims were interviewed by means of a semi-structured interview schedule. Differences in duration of the suicidal process between suicide victims diagnosed with adjustment disorder and suicide cases diagnosed with other psychiatric disorders were examined. Results: The suicidal process was significantly shorter in suicide victims diagnosed with adjustment disorder compared with suicide cases diagnosed with other disorders. No indications of a history of emotional or behavioural problems during early adolescence were found in suicide cases diagnosed with adjustment disorder. Limitations: The study sample consists of a small sample size and retrospective interviews of relatives were used. Conclusions: The suicidal process in suicide victims diagnosed with adjustment disorder appears to be short and rapidly evolving without any prior indications of emotional or behavioural problems. The importance of assessing the suicidal risk in patients diagnosed with adjustment disorder is underlined. D

Previous studies have tried to account for the uniqueness of gender ratios in Chinese suicide through physiological and psychological differences between men and women, and the means employed in the fatal act. From the point of view of the socio-psychological traits, this study examines the effects of religion (religiosity), superstition, and perceived gender inequality among Chinese women on the degree of their suicide intent. A four-page structured interviews were performed to the consecutively sampled serious attempters of suicide hospitalized to emergency rooms immediately after the suicidal act in Dalian areas, China. Both univariate analyses and the multiple regression model have found that the higher the degree the religiosity and superstition on metempsychosis, the stronger the suicide intent Chinese women had. The perceived gender inequality is positively correlated with suicide intent, and it is especially true for Chinese women. The socio-psychological traits and traditional culture values and norms have important impacts on suicide patterns in Chinese societies.Chinese suicide rates are distinguishable in the gender ratios: Chinese women are at higher risk of suicide than Chinese men (Phillips, Li, & Zhang, 2002;Zhang, 2000), while the reverse is found elsewhere in the world (Brockington, 2001;Pritchard, 1996). Previous studies have tried to account for this uniqueness in Chinese suicide through physiological and psychological differences between men and women (Zhang et al., 2003;Zhang, Yeates, Li, & Chao, 2004), the means employed in the fatal act (Phillips et al., 2002), as well as the low status of Chinese women in Chinese societies (Ji, 2000). However, those studies have offered either incomplete or biased explanations on why Chinese women are more likely than Chinese men to kill themselves. In this current study, we aim at providing another perspective to understand the Chinese phenomenon.We test our research hypotheses in suicidology by studying people who have seriously attempted suicide in the absence of suicide cases, based on the evidence that suicides and attempters are from two tightly overlapping populations (Beautrais, 2001) and it is greatly possible to assess the characteristics of suicides by studying attempters from the same general population. Maris et al. (2000) proposed a 10-level continuum of suicidality from the lowest to the highest suicidality, in which a serious suicide attempt that requires emergency room treatment is just one step before completed suicide. However, the degree of NIH Public AccessAuthor Manuscript Omega (Westport). Author manuscript; available in PMC 2011 November 1. suicide intent of all those admitted to emergency rooms may vary and the intensity of suicide intent may relate to some socio-psychological traits.In a study on race, religion, and female suicide attempters, Kok (1988) compared suicide attempt rates in Chinese, Malay, and Indian women in Singapore and did not find that a comparatively low rate of attempted suicide in Chinese women was ...
