Parasuicides in the Navy and Marine Corps: Hospital Admissions, 1989-1995

Abstract

This is the first population-based study to identify and analyze nonfatal suicide attempts (parasuicides) in the US Navy and Marine Corps. Study objectives were to (1) determine parasuicide prevalence rates; (2) develop sociodemographic profiles of attempters by gender, service, and recruit status subgroups; (3) develop diagnostic profiles of attempters by the same subgroups; and (4) characterize diagnostically relevant groups, including substance abusers, repeat attempters, and those with mental disorders.
