Monitoring self-reported suicide attempts (SA) with nationally representative surveys is important to initiate suicide prevention strategies. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of SA and compare deliberate self-harm, (DSH), mental health, drug misuse and traumas between SA and non-suicide attempters (NSA).
In this cross-sectional survey of a representative sample (N=1757) of the Norwegian population, we compared people with self-reported SA (n=54) to NSA (n=1703) regarding sociodemographic data, mental health problems, drug misuse and exposure to trauma.
The prevalence of SA was 3.1 %. There was a higher proportion of welfare recipients and more deliberate self-harm, mental health problems, drug misuse and traumas in the SA group compared to NSA.
This national study confirms the association between suicide attempt and deliberate self-harm, mental health problems, drug misuse and traumas.
使用具有全国代表性的调查来监测自我报告的自杀企图(SA)对于启动自杀预防策略非常重要。本研究的目的是评估 SA 的患病率,并比较 SA 和非自杀企图者(NSA)之间的故意自我伤害(DSH)、心理健康、药物滥用和创伤。
在这项对挪威代表性人群(N=1757)的横断面调查中,我们将自我报告有 SA(n=54)的人与 NSA(n=1703)的人在社会人口统计学数据、心理健康问题、药物滥用和创伤暴露方面进行了比较。
SA 的患病率为 3.1%。与 NSA 相比,SA 组中福利接受者的比例更高,故意自我伤害、心理健康问题、药物滥用和创伤的比例也更高。
这项全国性研究证实了自杀企图与故意自我伤害、心理健康问题、药物滥用和创伤之间的关联。
