TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - Why do people choose particular methods for suicide? JO - Activitas nervosa superior A1 - Lester, David SP - 312 EP - 314 VL - 30 IS - 4 N2 - A study of people's reasons for choosing a method for suicide indicated that females are more concerned with quickness, painfulness and disfigurement, but less concerned with the availability of the method. Those choosing guns were more concerned about the quickness of the method and less concerned about disfigurement. These results were discussed for their implications as to whether people will switch methods for suicide if one method is made less easily available.
