Sažetak

This study presents epidemiological research on suicide in Osijek area from 1986 to 2000. The authors analyze the rate of suicides during peace, war and postwar period, in relation to gender, age, time, method and possible motives for committing suicide. Higher suicide rates were recorded in the first three years of the war period and in the postwar year 1997. Concerning the method of suicide, the suicide by hanging dominates, however, during the war and postwar period the use of firearms and explosives increased along with significantly higher alcohol abuse. The possible motives during all three periods are crisis and/or physical illness.
