2.2. Comparing suicide note writers and non-note writers
The following data were extracted from coronial records: sociodemographics
(age, gender, ethnicity, marital status, living situation);
details of the suicide (method, location, alcohol level at postmortem);
psychiatric conditions (bipolar disorder, depression, and
past suicide attempts); medical conditions (malignancy, dementia,
terminal illness); and recent contact with psychiatric services.
Suicide methods were categorized as non-violent and violent.
Non-violent methods included poisoning, overdoses and carbon
monoxide inhalation and all other means were grouped as violent
methods (Conwell et al., 1990).
The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 22
was used for data analysis. Bivariate analyses were performed
using independent t-tests (2-sided) for continuous variables and
Chi2 tests (2-sided, with adjusted p-value using the Bonferroni
correction method) for discrete variables when comparing differences
in note writers and non-note writers. The level of significance
was set at 5%. Variables that were found to be significant
in the bivariate analysis were then entered into a logistic regression
model (binary outcome: 0¼no suicide note; 1¼ suicide note)
with the aim of finding predictive variables for suicide note
writers.
