Abstract		In Slovenia, the global coefficient of suicidality in the period from 1985 to 1999 amounted to around 30 in 100.000 inhabitants. In 1995 we even reached the lowest coefficient in the last twenty years-28,2. From the year 1999 on, it is generally possible to observe the beginning of a gentle downward trend of suicidality. Owing to the mentioned coefficient we were at that time still ranged among six most risky countries in the world regarding the suicides-immediately after the Baltic countries, Russia and Hungary. In the years 1985 to 1999, 614 people on average died annually due to the consequences of suicide in Slovenia. Most vulnerable social categories regarding suicide with us are workers with elementary school education, semi-qualified, widowed, divorced, unemployed, alcoholics, peasants, retired, males-regarding sex... which indicates, that the population from so called social circle of economic poverty constitutes a large part of suicide victims. Suicidality is most frequent in Northeastern parts of Slovenia, which are at the same time aslo more rural and economically less developed. Most suicides occur in late spring and early summer and-regarding the day-on Mondays. Most often suicides occur during the day. As for the motive, the majority of suicides are the consequence of marital resp. family conflicts, physical diseases and disabilities, loneliness, bereavement, problems at work, love-conflicts... When estimating mental state, a relatively high share of participants in suicide without psychiatric diagnosis (56%) is surprising. Average community coefficients of suicidality were in the years 1985-1995 statistically crossed with some demographic, socioeconomic, health, economic-political, confessional and other variables.
Summary		Globalni slovenski koeficient samomorilnosti je v obdobju od 1985 do 1999 znašal okoli 30 na 100.000 prebivalcev. Leta 1995 smo dosegli celo najnižji koeficient v zadnjih dvajsetih letih-28,2. Od leta 1991 dalje je mogoče opaziti, da je pričel trend samomorilnosti rahlo upadati. Omenjeni količnik pa nas je tedaj še vedno uvrščal med šest samomorilno najbolj ogroženih držav v svetu-takoj za pribaltskimi državami ter Rusijo in Madžarsko. V letih od 1985 do 1999 je v Sloveniji za posledicami samomorilnega dejanja umrlo povprečno 614 ljudi na leto. Samomorilno najbolj ranljive družbene kategorije v Sloveniji so delavci z osnovno šolo, (pol)kvalifikacijo, ovdoveli, razvezani, brezposelni, alkoholiki, kmetje, upokojenci, glede na spol-moški..., kar kaže, da v samomor v dobršni meri teži populacija iz t.i. socialnega kroga ekonomske revščine. Samomorilnost je najpogostejša v severovzhodnih predelih Slovenije, ki so obenem tudi bolj ruralni in gospodarsko manj razviti. Glede na letni čas je samomorov največ v pozni pomladi in zgodnjem poletju, glede na dan pa izstopa ponedeljek. Najpogosteje so se samomori dogajali podnevi. Glede na motiv dejanja so bili v ospredju zakonski oz. družinski spori, telesne bolezni in invalidnosti, osamljenost, izguba svojca, težave v službi, ljubezenski konflikti... Pri oceni duševnega stanja preseneča sorazmerno visok delež suicidantov brez psihiatrijske diagnoze (56%). Povprečni občinski koeficienti samomorilnosti so bili v letih 1985-1995 statistično "križani" tudi z nekaterimi demografskimi, socialnoekonomskimi, zdravstvenimi, gospodarsko-političnimi, veroizpovednimi in še drugimi spremenljivkami.
