Gender-specific study of recurrent suicide attempts in outpatients with multiple substance use disorders

specific and possibly avoidable/treatable risk factors for the recurrence of SA in SUD have been identified for the first time, opening new avenues for research and prevention in this high-risk population. Apart from nicotine dependence, these risk factors were very similar to those of serious SA. Although this comparison is indirect for now, it suggests a common liability towards suicidal behavior.
