Family conflicts and drug addiction are key factors in deliberate self-poisoning cases. Understanding these complex circumstances is crucial for developing effective public health prevention programs.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Public Health
  • Network Analysis

Background:

  • Deliberate self-poisoning is a significant public health concern.
  • Understanding the complex interplay of factors leading to self-poisoning is essential for effective intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the complexity of circumstances leading to deliberate self-poisoning.
  • To investigate the interrelations among preceding problems using network analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Network analysis was applied to patient data from a specialty hospital in Northwest Iran.
  • Centrality (degree and betweenness) and structural analysis (block modelling) were used to map problem interrelations.

Main Results:

  • Family conflicts were central for women; drug addiction was central for men.

  • Drug addiction had high betweenness centrality for men, while physical illness was high for women.
  • Structural analysis revealed distinct roles of various problems in intentional self-poisoning.

    • Conclusions:

    • The study highlights gender-specific pathways contributing to deliberate self-poisoning.
    • Findings can inform targeted public health strategies and prevention programs.
