Background: In Europe, men have lower rates of attempted suicide compared to women and at the same time a higher rate of completed suicides, indicating major gender differences in lethality of
suicidal behaviour. The aim of this study was to analyse the extent to which these gender
differences in lethality can be explained by factors such as choice of more lethal methods or
lethality differences within the same suicide method or age. In addition, we explored gender
differences in the intentionality of suicide attempts.
