much shorter than in general population. Patients with BD have 30
times higher suicide rate than the general population and 25–50%
of these patients attempts suicide. About 15% of patients who
attempted suicide eventually end their lives with completed sui-
cide.
Aim The aim of our research was to distinguish personality
features among bipolar patients with current depressive episode
(BD-D) who attempted suicide.
Materials and methods The research was conducted among
patients with depressive episode of BD (according to diagnostic cri-
teria of ICD–10) who attempted suicide and had been admitted for
hospital psychiatric treatment. For assessment of personality, we
used the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI, Cloninger R.)
upon admittance. Our sample consisted of 31 (n = 31) patient who
met the above mentioned criteria. All patients given their writ-
ten informed consent. The statistical analysis was performed using
SPSS 17.0.
Results In our sample, we found, higher scores on harm-
avoidance (HA), significantly higher scores on novelty seeking (NS)
with significantly lower scores on persistence (P), self-directedness
(SD) and cooperativeness (C) scales of the TCI. The Mann–Whitney-
U test was used to compare samples.
Conclusion In our sample, suicide attempts are associated with
temperament and character dimensions. These results confirmed
our initial hypotheses on existence of specific personality features
among that group of suicidal patients with BD–D.

Introduction According to the data of 2015, suicide rate in Rus-
sia was 17.1 cases per 100,000 population. However, many aspects
of the problem of suicidal behavior are not studied. This prevents
the organization of the system of effective suicide prevention. In
this regard, special attention deserves ethno-cultural factors, since
they are essential to the moral and ethical attitude to the possibil-
ity of suicide and to potential willingness to formation of suicidal
behavior.
Objective Study of the rate of suicide among different nations of
Russia.
Methods Statistical analysis of suicide rate in constituent entities
of the Russian federation from 2010 to 2015.
Results The specificity of suicide situation in Russia is that suicide
rates in different ethnic groups of the population has the distinction
of reaching 21: from 2.8 per 100,000 in the Republic of North Osse-
tia to 59.7 per 100,000 in the Altai Republic. This is due to cultural
peculiarities of different ethnic groups, including the historically
established their relationship to suicide. Taking in consideration
these factors were elaborated the differential programs for suicide
prevention. That has allowed to lower suicidal rate in Russia in
1.4 times for the last 5 years. That indicates the possible benefi-
cial effects of the ethno-cultural approach in suicide prevention
strategies.
Conclusion In planning programs suicide prevention in multi-
national countries should take into account the ethno-cultural
characteristics of the residing peoples.

Suicides and road traffic deaths in
Russia: A comparative analysis of
trends

Introduction It has long been recognized that there are difficul-
ties in obtaining valid mortality rates for suicides. The evidence
indicated that suicides are sometimes misclassified and “hidden”
as accidental. Suicide by motor vehicle crash is a recognized phe-
nomenon, leading to under-reporting of the actual number of
suicides and inaccuracies in the suicides mortality statistics. Road
traffic accident mortality and the suicides rates in Russia are both
among the highest in the world. This phenomenon has attracted
much attention in recent years, but remains poorly understood.
Aims The present study aims to test the hypothesis of the close
aggregate level link between road traffic accident mortality and the
suicides rates in Russia.
Methods Trends in sex-specific road traffic accident mortality
and the suicides rates from 1956 to 2015 were analyzed employing
a distributed lags analysis in order to assess bivariate relationship
between the two time series.
Results The graphical evidence suggests that the trends in both
road traffic accident mortality and the suicides for male and female
seem to followeach other across the time series. The results of anal-
ysis indicate the presence of a statistically significant association
between the two time series for male at lag zero. This association
for female was also positive, but statistically non-significant.
Conclusions This study indirectly supports the hypothesis that
many of road traffic accident deaths in Russia are likely to have been
suicides. Alternatively, common confounding variables, including
binge drinking and psychosocial distress, may explain positive
aggregate-level association between the two time series.

Introduction Suicides that occur during psychiatric hospitaliza-
tion are tragic events causing immense distress to relatives, peers,
and physicians. Suicide risk is particularly high in patients with
mood disorders.
Objectives To identify a clinical risk profile which can be predic-
tive of suicide in patients undergoing a major depressive episode,
hospitalized and within three months after discharge.
Methods We are going to include consecutively admitted
depressed patients in San Raffaele Turro hospital (Milan), with
a diagnosis of major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder,
for a longitudinal prospective study. Demographical and clini-
cal characteristics will be assessed. Barratt impulsiveness scale,
aggression questionnaire, Hamilton psychiatric rating scale for
depression, scale for suicide ideation, Columbia suicide severity
rating scale will be administered to evaluate, respectively, traits
of impulsiveness and aggression, severity of psychopathology and
suicidal ideation. A follow-up program has been established to
