Editorial Note: In Oregon, during 1988-1993, for every fatal suicide attempt by an adolescent, 31 nonfatal attempts were reported. Some attempts may not have been made with death as a goal but instead may have reflected a desire to resolve a difficult conflict, indicate an intolerable living situation, or elicit sympathy or guilt

Fatal and Nonfatal Suicide Attempts Among Adolescents -- Oregon, 1988-1993 (cdc.gov)

Dear Carolyn,

Very interesting and difficult to find!

Older research in the Netherlands research showed an estimation of 96000 attempts (all kind) and 1500 suicides during that year. Meaning 64 attempts versus 1 suicide

Globally, the availability and quality of data on suicide and suicide attempts is poor. This problem of poor-quality mortality data is not unique to suicide, but given the sensitivity of suicide – and the illegality of suicidal behaviour in some countries – it is likely that under-reporting and misclassification are greater problems for suicide than for most other causes of death.

Improved surveillance and monitoring of suicide and suicide attempts is required for effective suicide prevention strategies. Cross-national differences in the patterns of suicide, and changes in the rates, characteristics and methods of suicide, highlight the need for each country to improve the comprehensiveness, quality and timeliness of their suicide-related data. This includes vital registration of suicide, hospital-based registries of suicide attempts and nationally-representative surveys collecting information about self-reported suicide attempts.

I think these studies may be helpful for your question:
