This still doesn't sound like an overly broad definition of suicide-attempt to me. Somebody saying they want to die and giving themselves minor cuts seems like a pretty serious situation. Unless the supposition is that boys don't get hospitalized when they do the same sort of thing, number of hospitalizations sounds like a robust metric.

Obviously any suicidal ideation may need help; categories that aren't totally clear can just make it harder to decide what sorts of resources and interventions to prioritize on a systems level.
