Our faculty member Dr. Anisur Rahman Khan, Assistant Professor, S.M. Anowarul Kayes Shimul, & Helal Uddin, Lecturer, Department of Sociology, East West University, in their recent research showed that Students, unmarried, young adults (19-30 years), and persons with an undergraduate level education demonstrate a higher prevalence of suicidality in Bangladesh. 

They also suggest that hanging is the most frequently used method, and the night is the most preferred time for suicide. 

In connection with Emile Durkheim’s sociological typology of suicide, predominant motives of suicide are embedded in the egoistic category, followed by the anomic category. 

Moreover, they suggested undertaking of large-scale statistical surveys on male suicide in Bangladesh. Moreover, a multisectoral suicide prevention intervention is strongly recommended.
