Self-harm mortality in Iran decreased by 35.65% between 1990 and 2015. Rates remain higher in men and young adults aged 15-24, indicating a need for targeted prevention strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Demography

Background:

  • Self-harm-related deaths present a significant public health challenge with diverse socio-economic and cultural determinants.
  • Understanding mortality trends is crucial for developing effective public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the trends in self-harm mortality by sex and age in Iran.
  • To examine national and provincial-level mortality patterns over a 26-year period.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the Iran Death Registration System (DRS), Tehran and Esfahan cemetery databanks, and national censuses.
  • Employed growth models for age-group population estimation and spatio-temporal Gaussian process regression for mortality rate estimation.
  • Addressed data quality issues including incompleteness, misalignment, and misclassification within the DRS.

Main Results:

  • An estimated 67,670 self-harm deaths occurred nationwide during the study period.
  • The overall age-standardized mortality rate declined by approximately 35.65%, from 4.32 to 2.78 per 100,000 population.
  • Mortality rates were higher in men (M/F ratio 2.03:1) and individuals aged 15-24 years, with significant provincial variations.

Conclusions:

  • Self-harm mortality in Iran has shown a downward trend but requires continued monitoring and intervention.
  • Distinctive patterns include higher rates among men and young adults, necessitating tailored prevention efforts.
  • Enhancing national monitoring systems and implementing accessible, cost-effective preventive interventions are critical for Iran.
