In this study, we reviewed two decades of male suicide research.
We searched multiple academic databases to find all the qualitative studies on male suicide. Qualitative research, like interviews, is a method of study to understand people’s experiences. It explores the “why” and “how” of human behaviour.
We combed through over 19,000 search results and found 78 studies that met our criteria. These studies brought together insights from over 1,695 men who are suicidal or people bereaved by male suicide.
We repeatedly reviewed and explored each study – combining and analysing their findings – to find common patterns in male suicide risk and recovery factors. By exploring all these studies together, we wanted to build bigger and broader conclusions about male suicide.
