Riassunto
Il suicidio rappresenta un importante problema di salute collettiva, oltre ad attrarre l’attenzione e, spesso, la curiosità dell’opinione pubblica per la particolare drammaticità del gesto. Nonostante gli studi specifici sull’argomento siano generalmente ricondotti all’ambito sociologico, dalla seconda metà del ventesimo secolo l’interesse è aumentato grazie alla disponibilità di ricerche specifiche, sia a livello nazionale sia internazionale, finalizzate all’individuazione dei numerosi fattori di rischio coinvolti e alla conoscenza della loro complessa interazione.
