ABSTRACT:
Purpose. The article summarizes a data overview and analysis of committed suicide acts on the territory of the Bulgarian Ruse district region covering a ten-year period from 2014 to 2023 year.
Materials/Methods. The situation with the committed suicide acts on the territory of the region of Ruse is similar to the general situation at a national level. The results of this survey include an analysis of absolute number and percentage distribution based on the following indicators: gender, age, family status, means; as well as distribution by year, calendar month and place of happening (city/village). Data analysis of overall suicidal acts to those with fatal end was also made.
Results. Compared to a previous period from 2004 to 2013, the research outcome shows a decrease in the absolute number of suicidal acts, while their relative share, however, increased.
Conclusion. These actions shape the indicator "mortality per 100,000 in-habitants", which places the Region of Ruse in the register of suicide as a cause of death between low to medium level.
