The statistical relationship between attempted suicide and completed suicide was studied by (1) a review of 15 published follow-up studies of attempters that provided information on the incidence of completed suicide, and (2) a review of 9 published studies of committed suicide that provided data on the frequency of prior suicide attempts. The results of these studies were compared and tabulated. The limitations and methodologie deficiencies of the studies were discussed and suggestions were made for more reliable and comprehensive future research.The incidence of completed suicide in the follow-up studies of attempted suicides ranged from 0.03 per cent in one short-term study to 22.0 per cent in the longest follow-up study. The incidence of completed suicide among attempters was many times that occurring in the general population.Studies of groups who have committed suicide have found the incidence of prior suicidal attempts to vary from 8.6 per cent to 62.0 per cent. The incidence of prior suicide attempts among those who completed suicide was many times that of the general population.The clinical prognostic value of a history of attempted suicide and of the presence of those social and psychological factors associated with a high suicide risk was discussed.These data support the concept that attempted suicide and committed suicide involve two different, though overlapping, populations. The aim of this paper was to clarify the nature and extent of the overlapping.
