Diagnosis in OaseB Selected for the Oontrol (koup A control group was obtained by matching each patient who attempted suicide with the next patient of the same sex and similar age admitted to hospital. Patients of the same age were often not available, so a difference of two years in age was accepted for those aged under 25 years and five years for those aged 25 years and over. Patients admitted from the waiting list for elective investigation or operation were not included. The diagnoses in this control group are given in Table I. These patients were interviewed by the same people using the same questionnaire.
