Abstract.Background: Few
controlled studies have examined possible gender differences in
risk factors for suicide. This paper examined the associations
of certain risk factors with suicide among males and females
aged 15–64, and the variation in the associations by gender.
Methods: A case-control study
was constructed from the 1993 National Mortality Followback
Survey in the United States. Information concerning age, race,
education, living arrangement, marijuana use, excessive alcohol
consumption, access to a firearm, depressive symptoms, and
mental health service utilization was collected via death
certificate and proxy respondent. Decedents between the ages of
15 and 64 who died by suicide were compared with those who died
of natural causes. Logistic regression analysis was used to
examine the associations between risk factors and suicide in
males and females. Results:
In comparison to those who died of natural causes, we found that
marijuana use, excessive alcohol consumption, and access to a
firearm increased the odds of suicide for both genders. For male
decedents, the presence of depressive symptoms was more
frequently reported for the suicide decedents in the 45–64 age
group, and the proportion of mental health service use was
higher among suicide decedents who did not complete high school.
For female decedents, depressive symptoms were related to
suicide in all age groups, and the use of mental health services
was more frequent in the suicides of the 15–29 and 45–64 age
groups. Conclusions: The risk
factors of marijuana use, excessive alcohol use, and firearm
accessibility in the last year of life increased the odds of
suicide in both genders. When compared to natural deaths,
depressive symptomatology was common in female suicide
decedents, whereas it was only associated with older age among
male suicide decedents. The interactions of mental health
service use with demographic factors suggested possible gender
differences in suicide risk associated with severity of mental
disorders, as well as the likelihood of treatment
seeking.
