GONI-SARRIES, Adriana; LOPEZ-GONI, José J.  and  AZCARATE-JIMENEZ, Leire. Comparison between mild and serious suicide attempts and suicide deaths in Navarre Region. Clínica y Salud [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.2, pp.109-113.  Epub Nov 02, 2020. ISSN 2174-0550.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/clysa2019a9.

This paper compares people who committed suicide with people who made some (mild or severe) attempt, identifying factors associated with each group. This study uses two samples in which sociodemographic and clinical variables of people dying by suicide in Navarre (2010-2013, n = 180) and people attending psychiatry emergencies for an attempted suicide (January-October 2015, n = 207) were collected. The results show that a non-violent method of suicide, not being retired, and the absence of previous suicide attempts are associated with those who perform mild attempts. Being a male, the absence of previous attendances in psychiatry emergencies and being born in Spain are associated with those who have committed suicide. It is concluded that the differences between the deceased and suicide attempts underline the need for differentiated approaches in preventing the recurrence of suicidal behavior.

Keywords : Death by suicide; Mild suicide attempt; Intento de suicidio grave.
