N2  - The paper presents the results of a study of social conditioning of suicidal poisonings conducted in the years 1994-1996. The study was of the case-control study type and covered 542 intoxicated patients treated in the Toxicology Department of the Medical Faculty of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. The studied population consisted of 323 patients poisoned in suicidal attempts (the studied group) and 219 accidentally poisoned (the control group). The objective of the study was to determine social conditioning of suicidal poisonings. It has been found that the risk of suicidal attempt was 2.3 times higher among divorced or separated people; 2.2 times higher among those, who had recently lost their jobs; 2.4 times higher among people having financial problems while nearly twice lower among individuals having more children.<p />  <p>Language: pl</p>
