Ethnic differences in self-poisoning: a comparison of Asian and white groups

J Merrill and J Owens

The characteristics of Asian patients admitted to a Birmingham hospital following deliberate self-poisoning were compared with those of British- born white self-poisoners. Asian patients were more likely to be young, female, and married. They were less likely to have previously self- poisoned, received previous psychiatric treatment, be diagnosed psychiatrically ill, or suffer from a personality disorder. Culture conflict was common among the Asian patients and was present in the majority of unmarried Asian females. The rate of self-poisoning for Asian females was higher than for white females, but for Asian males was lower than for white males.
