Understanding the association between prescription drugs and suicide attempts is crucial for developing effective suicide prevention and management strategies. This study analyzed Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service data to identify medical events preceding suicide attempts and to construct a classification model of prescribed medications using decision tree analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This secondary data study analyzed 1264 adult suicide attempters aged 20 to 59\u2009years who were recruited from a pilot project for postmanagement in emergency departments conducted from March 2021 to March 2023, which may limit the generalizability of the findings. Claims data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service were extracted using the specific item codes, and the drug details were obtained from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety\u2019s pharmaceutical classification table 100\u2013890.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the total subjects, 65% were female and 35% male, with the highest proportion aged 20\u201329\u2009years. Medications prescribed prior to suicide attempts were analyzed according to age\u2010specific prescription patterns, with a focus on the types and classes of drugs prescribed. The classification model revealed age\u2010specific patterns, with psychotropic medications emerging as major predictors across all age groups. These models included psychotropic medications, digestive ulcer drugs, antipyretic and analgesic agents, anticonvulsants, and respiratory system drugs, with respiratory medications emerging as the most crucial variable. In the 50s, psychotropic medications\u2014particularly hypnotics and sedatives\u2014appeared in all four pathways. Among these, zolpidem was most commonly prescribed for insomnia, underscoring the strong link between sleep disturbance and suicide risk. Of particular concern, nearly nine out of 10 suicide attempters were prescribed at least one medication carrying suicide\u2010related warnings or contraindications, as noted by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results highlight differences in healthcare utilization and prescribed medication patterns by age group among suicide attempters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Implications for nursing management<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These results can be used as foundational data for considering suicide risk during nursing assessment and diagnosis of general and psychiatric patients and developing specialized nursing strategies and management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/jonm\/4823915","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,23]],"date-time":"2025-12-23T08:34:28Z","timestamp":1766478868000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Exploring Drug Use and Healthcare Utilization Among Adult Suicide Attempters: A Decision Tree Approach Using National Survey Data"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2025","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-9106-1688","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bohyun","family":"Choi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1475-7835","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dajung","family":"Ryu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7189-8215","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mihyeon","family":"Seong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7547-0224","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sohyune","family":"Sok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_1_2","volume-title":"Suicide","author":"WHO","year":"2024"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_2","volume-title":"Suicide Rates","author":"OECD","year":"2024"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00127-019-01770-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.24171\/j.phrp.2021.0208"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamainternmed.2020.0041"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11920-023-01461-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.bp.110.080952"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_2","volume-title":"Suicidality in Children and Adolescents Being Treated with Antidepressant Medications","author":"U.S. Food and Drug Administration"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.b2880"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4088\/JCP.11r07586"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2024.1291362"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_12_2","first-page":"198","article-title":"Mental Health Status of the low-income Population in South Korea: Results from the National Health Insurance Service Survey","volume":"227","author":"Lee S.
