Abstract

This study’s aim was to use latent class analysis (LCA) to identify subgroups within a sample of 134 suicide decedents according to biopsychosocial and treatment factors. Decedent inquest papers from a medical examiner database were coded into variables included in the LCA. Three distinct clusters were found.
