In Tel-Aviv, Israel, there is an ongoing municipal outreach program for the homeless. Objective: The aim of the present study was to describe the subgroup of homeless persons who had died by suicide. Method: Over a 9-year period the records of each homeless person who had died were assessed by two psychiatrists and a clinical criminologist. The project was undertaken in a large city and was feasible due to close cooperation between the municipal welfare department and mental health consultants. Results: Of the 1,192 homeless persons located and contacted, 156 persons had died (13.1%). Nine of the deaths were by completed suicide (5.8%). All were male. Mean age for the suicide subgroup was 34\u00b18.7 years, significantly younger than those who died of other causes (p &lt; .01). The majority had completed high school education. While the majority of deaths were drug or alcohol related, in only 1 of 9 deaths by suicide was there a history of drug abuse. Psychiatric comorbidity was recorded in 4 of the 9 persons. The majority of persons (6\/9) had died of suicide by hanging. Conclusion: Suicide is not a negligible cause of death among the homeless population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1027\/0227-5910.25.2.51","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,5,28]],"date-time":"2004-05-28T21:55:45Z","timestamp":1085781345000},"page":"51-53","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Suicide Among the Homeless"],"prefix":"10.1027","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Yoram","family":"Barak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Abarbanel Mental Health Center, Bat-Yam, and the Sackler School of Medicine, Tel-Aviv University, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asnat","family":"Cohen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Homeless Treatment Unit, Division of Welfare, Tel-Aviv Municipality, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dov","family":"Aizenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geha Mental Health Center, Petah-Tikva, and the Sackler School of Medicine, Tel-Aviv University, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"101","reference":[{"key":"c1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0447.2001.00192.x"},{"key":"c2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.89.4.529"},{"key":"c3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.1988.tb04018.x"},{"key":"c4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004060050080"},{"key":"c5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.283.16.2152"},{"key":"c6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.158.13.1454"},{"key":"c7","unstructured":"Israeli Central Bureau of StatisticsHealth\/Standardized mortality rates by cause(Report 37, Table 47.70).
