          Abstract

          Socioculturally meaningful events have been shown to influence the timing of suicide, but the influence of psychiatric disorder on these associations has seldom been studied.

          Open verdict v. suicide - importance to research.

          Jenna N. Kelly, Braddock K. Linsley, K Schapira (2001)
          Open verdicts are often included in with suicides for research purposes and for setting health targets. To examine similarities and differences in cases defined by the coroner as suicide and open verdicts and the implications of open verdicts for suicide research. All cases of open and suicide verdicts recorded in the Newcastle Coroner's Court in the period 1985-1994 were compared on demographic and medical parameters. Open and suicide verdicts had many similarities, differing only in some respects, of which logistic regression identified the most significant to be a suicide note, method used and age. Open verdicts should be included in all suicide research after excluding cases in which suicide was unlikely. Objective criteria are needed to facilitate comparison between different studies.

            Suicide in juveniles and adolescents in the United Kingdom.

            Nicola Swinson, Navneet Kapur, Kirsten Windfuhr … (2008)
            Suicide is a leading cause of death among youths. Comparatively few studies have studied recent trends over time, or examined rates and characteristics of service contact in well-defined national samples. Data on general population suicides and mid-year population estimates were used to calculate suicide rates (per 100,000/year) among youths aged 10-19 years in the United Kingdom. We then determined the proportion of youths who had been in mental health service contact in the year prior to death. Social and clinical data were collected via questionnaires sent to clinicians who had provided care. The general population rate of suicide was higher in males than females, and was higher in 15-19-year-olds compared to 10-14-year-olds. Suicide rates for 10-19-year-olds declined by 28% between 1 January 1997 and 31 December 2003 (compared with an 8% reduction in those aged >19 years); the fall was particularly marked for males. Mental health service contact was low at 14% (compared with 26% for adults), especially for males (12%). Youths in mental health contact were characterised by: diagnosis of affective disorder, mental illness history, residential instability, self-harm, and substance misuse. Over half of youths were living with parents and one-fifth were in full-time education. The suicide rate for 10-19-year-olds in the UK appeared to fall between 1997 and 2003. Further monitoring of suicide rates is needed to determine whether this trend has continued for the most recent years (e.g., 2004-7). The fall in rates may have been related to socio-economic or clinical factors. The rate of contact with services was low compared to adults, particularly in males. This is concerning because young males have the highest suicide rate in the UK. Suicide prevention in young people is likely to require a multi-agency approach.

              The limitations of official suicide statistics.

              Stephen R. Farmer, Colin O'Donnell (1995)
              This study explored some of the problems associated with current procedures for the ascertainment of suicide. A sample of 242 deaths which were known to have been self-inflicted was followed up through the coroners' courts where causes of death were legally established. Verdicts other than suicide were returned on half of the men, and on one-quarter of the women. For suicide statistics to become valid indicators of suicide rates it might be more appropriate to apply the civil, rather than the criminal, standard of proof during inquest proceedings.
