    • Alcohol use disorder is frequently associated with increased suicide risk.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of hopelessness as a determinant of suicidal intent.
    • To compare suicidal intent in alcoholic and nonalcoholic suicide attempters.

    Main Methods:

    • The study compared two groups: individuals with alcohol use disorder and those without.
    • Key psychological factors, including hopelessness, were assessed in relation to suicidal intent.

    Main Results:

    • Hopelessness emerged as the primary determinant of suicidal intent across both alcoholic and nonalcoholic groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Hopelessness is a universal indicator of suicidal intent, irrespective of alcohol use.
    • Clinical assessments for suicidal intent should prioritize evaluating levels of hopelessness.
