Jamshedpur is an Industrial town, which is rapidly growing and having population with mixed cultural background. Recently, there has been increasing trend in a number of suicide attempt across various age groups; there are around 300 cases of suicide attempt admitted to Tata Main Hospital each year.

研究与自杀未遂相关的风险因素。
该研究在贾姆谢德布尔的塔塔主医院进行。在6个月的时间里，我们收集了从内科、外科和急诊转诊来的101名自杀未遂者的数据，并将其纳入研究。通过专门设计的表格收集数据，以收集各种其他风险因素。
在本研究中，女性患者多于男性，年龄较小，属于中低收入群体，来自城市，接受过学校教育且失业的情况更为常见。70%的患者被发现患有精神疾病，但其中很少有人接受过先前的治疗。家庭冲突增加、婚姻问题、经济困难和感到受辱是一些风险因素。
在整个生命周期中，对有自杀风险因素的脆弱人群进行早期识别和治疗，将有助于规划和实施预防策略。
