Methods of suicide and attempted suicide were generally similar across genders. However, for the attempts, the magnitude of the effects was different in women and men. For example, self-poisoning was more frequent in OCD vs controls in both genders, but this was more prominent in men (OR=3.49 (95% CI, 2.46–4.96)) than it was in women (OR=1.81 (95% CI, 1.39–2.35)). On the other hand, self-injury was more frequent in both men and women controls, but this difference was only significant for the men (OR=0.50 (95% CI, 0.37–0.68); Supplementary Table S1).
