Abstract
Drug-related suicides and suicide attempts/gestures account for a relatively large percentage of the drug-involved cases seen by hospital emergency rooms and medical examiners. Tranquilizer involvement characterizes the largest subgroup of suicide cases in the emergency room but barbiturate involvement is most frequently true of suicide cases seen by medical examiners. In both settings the suicides tend to be older and to include relatively more females and fewer Blacks than the nonsuicides.
