Method of suicide employed by both adolescent males and females, combined
Violent methods of suicide were more common than non-violent methods. Asphyxia by hanging was the commonest method, followed by shooting oneself. Males were statistically more likely to use violent methods of suicide compared to females. Non-violent methods of suicide included asphyxia other than hanging and alcohol and/or drug abuse.
