Young women nonetheless are hospitalised for suicide attempts at twice the rate of young men (300 young women per 100 000 inhabitants, as opposed to 150 young men) (Socialstyrelsen, 2007). Since the early 1990s, Sweden has been a proactive actor in the field of suicide prevention. This is currently manifested in the form of The National Programme for Suicide Prevention, which was ratified by the Swedish Parliament in 2008 and aims to reduce the nation’s number of suicides and suicide attempts (see Section 4.5).
