Introduction

Latvia is listed as a country with one of the highest suicide mortality rates in European Union (National Statistical System of Latvia, 2021).

Objectives

To assess the sequences for reporting of suicidal behaviours (SB) in Latvian general population.

Methods

The study is based on secondary data of the Health Behaviour Among Latvian Adult Population survey, provided by the Centre for Disease Prevention and Control of Latvia (representative sample of the Latvian population aged 15-64 in 2010, 2012, 2014; 15-74 in 2016, 2018; (n=16,105). Respondents were asked to report the occurrence of life-weariness (LW), death wishes (DW), suicidal ideation (SI), suicidal plans (SP), suicide attempts (SA) during the previous year.

Results

Statistically significant differences between genders were found for LW (Χ²=17.118; df=1; p<0.001; AR=±4.1), DW (Χ²=17.764; df=1; p<0.001; AR=±3.8) and any type of SB (Χ²=15.721; df=1; p<0.001; AR=±3.8). Frequencies of individual sequences of reporting last year SB are presented in Table.

Conclusions

Further research is warranted to identify vulnerable groups in the Latvian general population in relation to suicidality and thus to develop targeted preventive measures.
