many research studies on prevalence of suicide behaviors have been conducted so far in different provinces, however, the national study will provide suitable data on suicide behaviors if this item has been included in the project
The project includes: Warning signs, risk factors, suicidal ideation (thoughts, intentions and plans), suicidal behavior (recent and in the past), preparatory behavior, self-harm without intention to die, reasons to die and reasons to live.
This is an interesting study given the width of coverage and sample size. Iran being a Muslim country may have higher rate of people relying on religion as protective factor against suicidal thoughts and behaviours.
