The majority of suicide attempters were single, many living alone.

The sample exhibited low vocational education and limited labor market association.

Suicide attempters were not exclusively from lower social classes, showing a distribution across upper and lower strata, unlike middle-class representation.

Conclusions:

Suicide attempters present a complex social profile, not solely defined by financial hardship or lower social class.
The findings provide a nuanced understanding of the social characteristics associated with suicide attempts, informing targeted interventions.
