committed by the married males and females with completed high

school, pensioners. The suicide rate has been increasing with the

age of the suicide committers and it is the highest in subjects of both

genders aged over 75 years. The most common suicide method in

males and in females is hanging and strangling. The second most

common method in males is by firearm and in females poisoning.

Conclusions

Suicide Prevention Programme in Serbia should be

primarily oriented toward the male population because they were

more exposed to stress in the period of social transition in recent

years. But the problem is that males are still less ready to ask psy-

chiatrists for help when having some problems withmental health.

Introduction

Russia retains one of the highest suicides rate in the

world, despite a gradual decline over the past decade. Epidemi-

ological evidence suggests that suicide mortality vary noticeably

between the regions in Russia with the regular spatial pattern in

suicides distribution.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to consider the role of

alcohol as a factor responsible for the spatial pattern of suicides

mortality in Russia.

Methods

The cross-sectional time series analysis of suicides and

fatal alcohol poisonings (as a proxy for alcohol consumption) rates

in 73 regions of European Russia over the period 1980–2013 was

performed. This analysis was followed by a more detail examina-

tion of the mortality distribution across the north-south axis by

using latitudinal approach.

Results

The stable south-north gradient in suicides and alcohol

poisonings mortality rates is manifested on the European territory

of Russia. The analysis indicates that the regional variations of sui-

cides and alcohol poisonings mortality rates have a similar spatial

regularity, which means that the regions with a high suicides rate

also have a high alcohol poisonings mortality rates. The results also

suggest the long-term similarity and continuality in the suicides

and alcohol poisonings mortality geographical pattern.

Conclusions

The findings on spatial relationship between sui-

cides and alcohol poisonings mortality rates seem to support the

hypothesis that considers regional pattern of alcohol-related prob-

lems as a factor responsible for the spatial pattern of suicides

mortality in Russia.

Introduction

Spatial patterns of mortality could help us to focus

research to achieve prevention. On the other hand, recent research

has shown an association between unemployment and suicide, but

the mediating factors in this relationship are still unknown.

Objectives

We investigated the provincial spatial patterns of

suicidemortality in Spain, and the effect of unemployment and eco-

nomic recession on suicide mortality rates in the Spanish region of

Galicia that has high suicide rates.

Method

To describe regional suicide mortality in Spain and to

assess its association with recession and unemployment in Galicia,

we calculated age-standardized suicide rates in men and women

throughout 1975–2012 by region and performed a time-trend Gen-

eralized Additive Model using mortality data provided by National

Statistics Institute and employment data collected from Statistics

Institute of Galicia.

Results

In Spain, during the study period, there were 105,134

suicides with an age-adjusted rate of 10.2 and 3.02 per 100,000

population in men and women, respectively. There is a high vari-

ability in mortality rates across Spanish provinces. Madrid had the

lower rates and Asturias and Galicia the higher ones. In Galicia, sui-

cide rates were 13.7 in men and 4.3 in women per 100,000 and we

found that economic recession and unemployment interacted with

regards to suicide rates (

P

= 9.80E-4) and after stratifying by sex, the

effect was confirmed only among men (

P

= 8.70E-3).

Conclusions

In Spain, suicide mortality varies greatly by region

and in Galicia that is one of Spanish regions with higher suicide

rates, unemployment was related with suicide during economic

recession periods.

Introduction

Suicide is a major public health problem and one

of the common causes of maternal mortality. Rates of suicide and

self-harm are higher in British South Asian women compared to

the majority white population. Suicidal Ideation (SI) is a significant

risk factor associated with self-harm and suicide.
