Abstract: hypothesized that some socio-professional factors may also act as SSA risk factors.Methods: We used the data from the French-speaking Swiss program for monitoring self-harm.Patients with SSA were considered as cases, the others as controls.The association between SSA and socio-professional factors was assessed by univariate and multivariable logistic regression models.Results: We included 320 cases and 1468 controls.The unknown occupational status, high skill level at work, interruption of activity because of job loss or dismissal, problematic socioeconomic situation and occupation as physical, mathematical and engineering science professionals were associated with SSA.In this group architects, engineers and related professionals were the most at risk sub-group.College, university and higher education teaching professionals, Finance and sales associate professionals, and Metal moulders, welders, sheet-metal workers, structural-metal preparers, and related trades workers had also an increased risk of SSA, but of borderline statistical significance.The adjustment for confounders had a little effect on the odds ratios.Conclusion: Patients who make a SSA appear to have a partially different occupational profile than controls.
