Abstract
A structured questionnaire administered to 913 primary alcoholics entering an alcoholism treatment program revealed that 155 (17%) had attempted suicide. Compared to other primary alcoholics, those with histories of suicide attempts were more likely to have had early life difficulties with police, school and parents; reported more misuse of drugs; and were significantly more likely to have an alcoholic or depressed close relative.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
