ABSTRACT
The present study explored gender differences in suicidal methods, aiming to identify ways to improve our identification of individuals at risk for suicide. Preferred suicide methods vary by demographics; however, method-specific risk factors have not been consistently identified. All suicidal deaths (N=2,347) in a large urban county were identified over a 15-year period (1994-2008). The majority of men used shooting and hanging. In contrast, women relied on a variety of methods, including self-poisoning, shooting, hanging, and carbon monoxide poisoning. Significant demographic differences are evident among individuals who die by shooting and self-poisoning.
