abstract="We compared New York City suicide victims aged 18-59 with those 60+ according to rates by which psychotropic/analgesic drugs and ethanol contributed to death. Barbiturates were more frequent in the elderly, while antidepressants were more frequent in younger adults. Addressing the potential for overdose with barbiturates may aid suicide prevention in the elderly.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
