TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Suicidal behavior and alcoholism in homeless persons JO - Anales de Psiquiatria A1 - Mansilla, F. A1 - Rivero, A.G. SP - 141 EP - 145 VL - 16 IS - 4 N2 - This work refers to the suicide behaviours of a sample of alcoholic patients in a situation of social exclusion. It is known that the improper consumption of alcoholic drinks has been considered, according to the statistical data as a factor of risk not only of suicide attempts but also of complete suicide. Moreover it has been found that the suicide incidence concerning alcoholics is higher than the one that can be noticed for the entire population. In our study the proportion of suicide behaviours is smaller than the one that can be seen in other Spanish studies and it seems that the suicide behaviours are more related to the concomitant pathology than to the social exclusion.
