	abstract="{he COVID-19 pandemic is related to changes in rates of suicide and suicide attempts
in many countries, and some differences have been observed regarding the prevalence of suicidal
behaviours in different age and gender groups. The aim of this study is to analyse the number of
suicides and suicide attempts per 100,000 people between 2019 and 2021 in Poland. Using police and
government data on suicide and suicide attempts in Poland, three age categories were investigated:
13–24 years old, 25–65 years old, and above 65 years old, and the analysis encompassed the whole
population and the populations of men and women separately. Study results indicated an increase in
suicide attempts in the two younger age categories (aged 7–24 years and 25–65 years) between 2021
and 2019–2020. There was an increase in suicide among women in all age categories during the study
period, whilst no increase was observed in suicide in men in any age group. The differences in the
prevalence of suicide and attempted suicide in Poland during the COVID-19 pandemic in different
age and gender groups indicate the need for tailored suicide prevention activities}",
