The aim of this study was to compare early parental death, ADHD, and precarious employment among adults with and without history of suicide attempt. It was a case control study. Its statistical population included all the individuals with history of suicide attempt who referred to public section of I ranian hospitals in Gilan province. Among these patients, 30 adults with history of suicide attempt were chosen by census method and they were compared with 30 adults without the history of suicide attempt.For collecting data, Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) and a researcher made questionnaire were used. Data were analyzed by univariate variance test and Chi-square test. The results showed that people with history of suicide attempt, had more precarious employments and they were more suffered from ADHD than people without history of suicide attempt, but there was not any meaningful difference in the rate of early parental death between two groups. These findings showed that history of suicide attempt and ADHD are probably important risk factors in suicide attempt. So, treatment of this disorder and improvement of work status can reduce the suicide risk in future.

Keywords: early parental death, attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder, precarious employment
