Abstrakt     The average Slovene suicide coefficient for the period 1985-1995 was 31.5 per 100,000 population. The lowest coefficient in the past 20 years (28.2) was recorded in 1995. The suicide rates have slightly decreased since 1991, yet at that time Slovenia still ranked sixth - after the Baltic states, Russia and Hungary- among the countries with the highest suicidal risk. During the period studied (1985-1995), the average number of suicide deaths per year in Slovenia was 614. This empirical study is divided into three separate parts according to the contents and explanatory character of the data and the methodologies used. The first part of the study provides a retrospective analysis of the Slovene suicidal population during the period 1985-1995 in the light of some socio-economic and demographic variables, including age, sex, educational level, marital and/or retirement status, nationality and unemployment . The second group of variables refer only to the suicidal population and are therefore expressed as relative proportions and percentages. The following variables were investigated: motive and place of suicide, the method employed, mental assessment, previous suicide attempts, and suicide rates by month, day, hour and feast days. The third part comprises Pearson's correlation tables presenting the average communal suicide coefficients calculated for a period of 11 years and "crossbred" with the complex variables and selected indicators of demographic and socio-economic conditions, health, education, economic and political conditions, religion, culture, weather, crime, tourism and catering. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated to examine causal relationships between some phenomena and (in)dependent variables. (Abstract truncated at 2000 chracters).
