N2  - A comparison of suicide notes written by attempted and by completed suicides revealed that the notes of attempters were less often addressed to someone in particular, less often apologized, more often mentioned grandparents and were less often wills and testaments. These findings suggested that either the suicide attempters felt more isolated, or that they were aware that they would survive the suicidal act. The differences identified suggest that the suicidal intent of a suicide note writer may be measured by the content of the note.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
