Background and Objectives: Suicide is a conscious act or behavior that a person does to die. Suicide is one of the most important health issues in the world. The present study was designed to investigate the epidemiology of suicide (complete-attempt) in the townships covered by Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences during the years 2012 - 2016.
Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was performed on 22465 people who suicided (complete-attempt) during the years 2012 to 2016. The information was extracted from the checklist of the monthly report of the Suicide Prevention Program of the hospitals of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences. After summarizing, it was reported as the number and percentage and analyzed using Chi-square test.
Results: 376 people (1.67) had completed suicide and 22089 people (98.33%) had attempted suicide. The mean age and standard deviation of those who suicided was 27.07±10.30 years. The highest number of completed suicides occurred in the age group of 25 to 34 years (114 people (30.32%), married people 256 people (68%), and men 226 people (60%). The highest number of suicides was in the age group of 15 to 24 years (10163 people (46%), married people 12703 people (58%), women 14748 people (67%) and housewives 8614 people (39%).
Conclusion: In general, various demographic factors, family and economic problems can increase the risk of suicide. Also, the chance of suicide in married people, housewives and the age group of 15 to 34 years is high. More serious decisions need to be made to prevent suicide in vulnerable groups.
