Abstract
In the present study, we extracted data from 625 medical records of patients with schizophrenia to examine factors associated with suicide attempts. We coded for facets of aggression (including nonsuicidal self-injury), history of drug abuse, history of mood disorder, and specific psychotic symptoms. Binary logistic regression tested the prominent predictors.
