abstract="OBJECTIVE: Personal Honor is associated with culturally defined honor-norms, its loss may predicate suicide. This exploratory study aimed to identify honor-related suicides within a public health dataset and to compare them to other suicides. <br><br>METHODS: Honor-related suicides (n = 163) were identified from case narratives within the National Violent Death Reporting System dataset. The distribution of factors associated with honor-related suicide were compared with all other suicides (n = 54333). <br><br>RESULTS: Honor-related suicides were more likely associated with, leaving a suicide note; discussing suicidal intent; criminal-legal, job and relationship problems; and suffering depression whilst being less likely to seek help for distress. They were not associated with gender or suicide method. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Honor suicides were identified and appear to be most associated with public challenges to personal reputation. Implications for suicide prevention are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
