Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Substance abuse, aggression, hopelessness, emotion-focused coping, social isolation, and lack of purpose in life have been associated with suicidal behavior in men. In addition, just under 50% of suicide attempts among men between the ages of 42 and 77 years involve firearms. The media, lack of conflict resolution skills, and parenting practices can play a role but are not considered major factors.
