Abstract

Analyzes regional (core-Russian administrative unit of Ivanovo) patterns of attempted suicide. The rates of suicidal activities and their dynamics in 2000 to 2005 are examined on the basis of respective medical statistics of Ivanovo city First aid ambulance stations. Changes in gender, age and behavioral structures of suicide attempts are presented. Tendencies towards further juvenation and masculinization of attempted suicides are found out there, as well as a certain radicalization of suicidal methods is recorded. Interrelations between downward sloping pattern of age distribution of suicide and social economic situation in the regions is argued for.
