Abstract

BACKGROUND: Suicidal behaviors, which may lead to death (suicide) or survival (suicide attempt), are influenced by various factors. Identifying the specific risk factors for suicidal behavior mortality is critical for improving prevention strategies and clinical interventions. Predicting the outcomes of suicidal behaviors can help identify individuals at higher risk of death, enabling timely and targeted interventions. This study aimed to determine the critical risk factors associated with suicidal behavior mortality and identify an effective classification model for predicting suicidal behavior outcomes.
