COMPLETED SUICIDE IN MURCIA (SPAIN), 1990-1992

Abstract

We analyzed suicide behaviour in Murcia, during the period 1990-92. We have found a global rate of 6.31 per 100.000 inhabitants (9.52 and 3.20, for men and women, respectively). Also, we have studied the occurrence in the different areas (Judicial Districts). We confirm prior findings: the more aged, the more prone to commit suicide (with a great amount of young people); males did it three times more than females; the method and the months depend on individuals´ sex.
