  • Suicide in Slovenia : a global (genetic and environmental) study of the development of the risk of suicidal behaviour
    Marušič, Andrej, 1965-2008 ; Roškar, Saška, 1977- ; Roškar, Maja
    Suicidal behaviour is attributable to many causes. A comprehensive method for identifying risk factors for suicide is to consider that they are composed of genetic and environmental influences and ... their interactions. High suicide ratein Slovenia is thus a consequence of genetic and environmental factors. Our most recent study has been focusing on risk factors in the general population and in particular in higher risk groups (depressive disorder, alcohol-related mental disorders, impulsive/aggressive personality traits, persons with previous suicide attempts) by including both genetic and environmental factors to estimate the suicide risk. We have been using the DNAanalysis to determine genetic risk factors, and psychological autopsy or cognitive tests to determine psychological risk factors. As for the social risk factors we have been relying on mathematically and statistically supported analysis of social support and social networks of an individual. Theend result of our investigation, which is going to be presented during the proposed symposium, will be a mathematical multifactorial model of risk to develop the suicidal behaviour. This will represent a rather novel approach tostudy suicidal risk as it will simultaneously cover risk obtained via so different approaches as genetic and sociological can be. A comprehensive coverage of most potential risk factors for suicidal behaviour will enable us to provide a global view of risk for a development of the suicidal behaviour in Slovenia and elsewhere. Only simultaneous research of all risk factors can lead to efficient approach to suicide prevention.
