This study contributes to the literature by highlighting distinct age- and subgroup-specific trends in the use of violent suicide methods. We noted a consistent decrease among women up to age 60, and lower rates among older migrants. These insights underscore the value of a lifespan approach in understanding suicide risk and method choice, and point to the need for tailored, context-aware prevention strategies
