Sex differences exist in suicide. Males kill themselves more often than females, although not in childhood. Females attempt suicide more frequently. Males also respond differently to prevention programs. Female students are consistently found to display higher levels of knowledge, attitudes, and behavior before the introduction of a suicide prevention curriculum, and they are more likely to benefit from the curriculum when it is provided. It is concluded that (a) in comparison to males, females appear more sensitive to suicide and its management, and (b) males may require suicide prevention programs that differ from the kind generally provided. It is concluded that prevention programs need to teach males to learn about and respond to a suicidal cry, not to deny it. |
