Abstract
⺠We present data on prevalence and predictors of suicidal behaviour among women from 13 low and middle income settings. ⺠Prevalence of lifetime suicide attempts ranged from 0.8 to 12.0%. ⺠Experience of violence predicted suicide attempts across settings, even after accounting for common mental disorders.
