Suicide attempts 1970--75: updating a United States study and comparisons with international trends

L Wexler, MM Weissman and SV Kasl

This paper brings up to date a 1970 study of suicide attempters coming to a major emergency room in an United States urban community and reviews international trends in suicide attempts. Results of the study and the review of the international literature indicate that the high rates of suicide attempts that were observed in 1970 are continuing into 1975. The incidence of suicide attempts continues to be a public health problem primarily amoung young women. Pill ingestion, usually barbiturates and psychotropic drugs, continues to be the most common method used.
