Objective:
The Frankfurt Network for Suicide Prevention (FRANS) documents the number of suicides in Frankfurt a. M., in order to determine precise and strategic prevention requirements.
Method:
Analysis of death certificates listing "suicide" as cause of death. Several data points are recorded: Sex, age, method, place and date of suicide, place of residence and place of birth. Further information is drawn from the local register of residents.
Results:
The results show a relatively consistent number of about 90 suicides per year in Frankfurt a. M., considering the years from 2014 through 2017 the overall suicide rate slightly decreased from 12.84 to 12.68 per 100 000 inhabitants. The highest rates were found amongst the over 81 year-olds. The number of suicides was considerably higher for men than women. The most chosen method was death by hanging.
Conclusion:
These data facilitate more tailored, needs-based prevention measures.
