Abstract
During recent decades, non-fatal suicidal
behaviour has become a problem of increasing
concern in mostcountries. Contrary to fatal suicidal
acts that most westem countries have been
registering for more than 100 years, no country can
provide national statistics on suicide attempts. For
this reason, the European Regional Office of the
World Health Organisation initiated an
inter-European study on suicide attempts in the
mid-1980's. "The WHO/Euro Multicentre Study on
Suicidal Behaviour". There are two parts of the
study: The Monitoring Part and The Repetition
Prediction Study. The Monitoring study started in
1989. Originally, 16 centres participated, butdue to
lack of national funding some had to leave the
study. On the other hand, new centres have
wanted to take part, and as of today, 24 centres
are included in the monitoring part of the project.
During the period of 1989-1992, 22.655 episodes
of attempted suicide were reported, and
age-standardised average rates per 100.000 in
Europe were estimated to 136/100.000 for males
and 186/100.000 for females. The highest
age-specific rates for men were found among the
25-34 year-olds and for vvomen among the 15-24
year-olds. There was a decrease during the period
in the total rates of about 17% for men and 14% fo women. Most centres are, hovvever, expressing
vvorries conceming markedly increasing
frequencies of suicide attempts among the young
girls. İn general the far most common method is
self-poisoning, usually with overdoses of medicine.
There is a tendency tovvards men choosing more
violent or determinant methods than vvomen.
