HR, 95%% CI aMultivariate model: including all methods in the model: poisoning, hanging, firearm, cutting, jumping and other methods.
Hanging, jumping from a high place, shooting a firearm, cutting, burning, and jumping under a vehicle were classified as violent suicide attempts.
We considered the variables ethnic group (indigenous, non-indigenous), sex (male, female), suicide method (hanging, firearm use, cutting, poisoning, jumping from a height, and others), and month and day of the week suicide occurred and compared data from the NAO with national data.
Suicides by firearm and by cutting in the NAO (in both ethnic groups) were more frequent than in Russia.
The proportion of suicides by firearm and by cutting was higher in the indigenous population than the non-indigenous population of the NAO.
Suicide by firearm and by cutting was significantly higher among the indigenous population in the NAO when compared with national data.
* includes burning, cutting, firearms, electrocution, suffocation and other specified Cases of suicide who had absconded were significantly younger than those who were on agreed leave (median age 39, range 17-78 vs. 46, range 15-95; p < 0.001).
Violent methods include hanging, drowning, firearm, wrist cutting, jumping from a height, crashing a car or jumping or lying in front of a train.
The suicide methods were classified as either violent (use of firearm or shotgun, hanging, cutting and piercing with sharp objects, jumping from high places, getting run over by train or moving vehicle) or non-violent (ingestion of Pesticide, Poison by gas, Suffocation, and overdose) (Sun & Jia, 2014).
We showed different relative frequencies of suicide by hanging, cutting, and firearm, as well as different suicide occurrence by month and day of the week in the NAO compared with Russia as a whole.
In the NAO, indigenous males had a higher relative frequency of suicide by firearm (25.9 %) and cutting (9.3 %) than non-indigenous males (19.3 and 5.6 %, respectively) (p >0.05 in both comparisons).> -wrap-foot>> -wraDifferentDifferent at p < 0.05 from the corresponding proportion in the Russian Federation.
