Abstract: A study of suicidal thoughts among the aged was conducted in seventeen villages under a rural PHC. ICMR scale for socio-economic status, Khatri’s scale for family jointness, Family Integration Assessment Schedule, Social Integration Assessment Schedule, Proforma for suicidal ideations and Proforma for suicide counters were used. Among the 603 seniors, 238 nurtured suicidal thoughts. Being a woman, being widowed, poor socio economic background, family neglect, social exclusion, psychiatric disturbances and subjective unhappiness made them vulnerable. Prevalent Suicide counters were studied. A multi-level intervention by village health workers, PHC medical officer and mental health professionals is envisaged.
