Resource The lethality of suicide methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis

[mychois]

Can anyone give me the FULL article?

• There was a wide variation in the case fatality rates by different suicide methods, ranging from 75−90% by firearms to 1.0−4.0% by cutting
• Males and females had similar case fatality rates if they used the same suicide methods.
• Older adults were more likely to die from their suicide act compared with young people, even though the same method was used.

The lethality of suicide methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis

The use of suicide methods largely determines the outcome of suicide acts. However, no existing meta-analysis has assessed the case fatality rates (CF…

From The summary . Guns 90% and that's including tiny handguns and with no gun expertise, nor practice, nor research of where to aim, and not a lot of practice dry firing to not flinch practice. Imo a shotgun or a 338 win mag rifle with practice 99.9%

Of 10,708 studies screened, 34 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Based on the suicide acts that resulted in death or hospitalization, firearms were found to be the most lethal method (CFR:89.7%), followed by hanging/suffocation (84.5%), drowning (80.4%), gas poisoning (56.6%), jumping (46.7%), drug/liquid poisoning (8.0%) and cutting (4.0%). The rank of the lethality for different methods

I've been thinking of attempting a throat cut but I know it's stupid. Hanging rivals *guns.* That's nuts.

Fsh Hanging probably fails only if found and cut down brought to hospital within a few minutes while still alive

Very useful for knowing what options are available and which are comparatively more reliable. Tons of thanks.

Hard to imagine how to spend the rest of life with a fucked-up mouth, and even worse, a fucked-up brain, which may not be able to contemplate a better second attempt.

drug/liquid down at 8% is intimidating. of course its also broad. is there a statistic specific for sn?
