摘要
Introduction: This study investigates the trends in suicide methods by age group in Turkey. Method: Secondary data on suicide from 2007 to 2015 were obtained from the Turkish Statistical Institute. The direct standardization method was used to calculate suicide rates. Correlation test was used to show the trends in suicide methods by age. Results: Statistically significant changes in suicide methods were seen for persons aged 15 to 24 years and 25 to 44 years, where jumping increased; among persons aged 15 to 24 years, cutting/burning decreased. Discussion: The most popular suicide method is jumping.
