Introduction: SUICIDE is a global health concern with a growing prevalence in most countries including Iran. The increasing rate of SUICIDE despite the SUICIDE prevention programs indicates the need for evaluation of the effective factors on SUICIDE ATTEMPTS. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between different risk factors including age, gender, addiction, mood of residence, marital status, history of psychiatric illnesses, history of SUICIDE ATTEMPTS in the patient and the family, time and season of SUICIDE attempt, and methods of SUICIDE in Yazd province in Iran. Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study conducted in educational Hospitals of Yazd and Legal Medical Organization of Yazd city June 2018-June 2019. Every individual with complete SUICIDE ATTEMPTS enrolled. The medical records of these individuals were documented and the relationship between the method of SUICIDE and demographic factors were evaluated. Results: Sixty individuals with the mean age of 37. 43 years enrolled in the present study and most of them were female (68. 3%). Major part of the individuals had a history of SUICIDE ATTEMPTS (54. 5%) and most of the SUICIDEs occurred during nights (42. 4%). Moreover, most of the complete ATTEMPTS occurred in summer (46. 7%), and hanging (55%) was the most common type of SUICIDE attempt. Only the gender was significantly correlated with the method of SUICIDE (P= 0. 001). Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that most of the SUICIDEs committed by females and self-hanging were the most common method of SUICIDE. The gender was the only factor related to the method of SUICIDE.

Context: Several investigations have shown that people in an adoption situation have a higher frequency of mental problems or disorders than the general population. However, no known meta-analysis consolidates information about the association between the adoption situation and SUICIDE attempt. Objectives: We aimed to systematically evaluate the primary observational studies that quantifi ed the association between the being adopted and SUICIDE attempt. Methods: A systematic review was designed that used a logical strategy based on specifi c descriptors in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, in combination with the Boolean operators (AND, OR). The search was performed on the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, Health Virtual Library, ProQuest, EBSCOhost, PsycArticles, BioMed Central, and Sage Journal. Articles were included until December 2018. The quality of the studies was evaluated with a tool based on the STROBE criteria. Results: Six studies met the inclusion criteria. Three studies used case-control designs and the remaining three were cohort studies. Case-control studies computed 69 SUICIDE ATTEMPTS in 1, 216 adopted people compared to 436 ATTEMPTS amidst 20, 555 non-adopted people (OR = 2. 30, 95% CI 1. 24-4. 28, I = 61%). Cohort studies computed 536 SUICIDE ATTEMPTS among 36, 965 people in adoption compared to 15, 112 ATTEMPTS in 3, 118, 069 non-adopted people (RR = 2. 99, 95% CI 2. 54-3. 53, I 2 = 73%). Conclusions: The adoption situation can increase SUICIDE ATTEMPTS; it predicts at least two times more cases of SUICIDE ATTEMPTS among adopted people than in the general population.
