Email alerts Article activity alert. The probability of death by hanging is associated with male sex, older age, living in rural areas, and low educational level. Most of these cases occur at home; only one in 10 occur in institutions such as hospitals and prisons. The epidemiology and prevention of suicide by hanging: a systematic review. Int J Epidemiol.
Furthermore, people who attempted suicide by hanging have higher chances of future completed suicide when compared with those who attempt other methods. Knowledge of the methods used for suicide is important for implementing suicide prevention strategies. From a public health standpoint, developing universal prevention strategies for this method is particularly challenging due to the fact it is most commonly carried out in the home, the ready availability of the materials used, and widespread perceptions about the method.
Feasible strategies for the prevention of suicide by hanging must involve greater vigilance in institutional settings and adequate management of patients with previous attempts and patients with mental disorders.
The scarcity of effective preventive measures to reduce escalation of this form of suicide demands a comprehensive discussion among professionals, families, and health managers who are at the frontline of care of suicidal people. Future research should focus on the details of deeply rooted perceptions about the meaning of death by hanging in different cultures and the origins of this knowledge as used by suicidal individuals, in order to reduce their willingness to plan suicide by this method.
