The rates of suicide are two to three times higher in men than in women in all communities. This "gender paradox" can be explained by various factors, such as more impulsive nature of men and their choice of more efficient (more lethal) methods to commit suicide. This study was aimed at finding the correlation between the gender and other suicidal factors.
