چکیده
The Rhode Island Violent Death Reporting System (RIVDRS) collects violent death data from death certificates, medical examiner reports, and law enforcement reports and is a joint project of the Office of State Medical Examiners and the Center for Health Data and Analysis in the Rhode Island Department of Health.1 Suicide is the third leading cause of injury death in Rhode Island. In 2010, there were more deaths due to suicide in Rhode Island than due to car crashes.2 The number of suicides has increased each year in Rhode Island during 2005– 2010, making suicide one of the top four injury priorities identified in the 2013 Rhode Island Injury Prevention Plan. An understanding of suicide and its associated risk factors is important for planning public health interventions. RIVDRS is the only data base that collects comprehensive information regarding circumstances surrounding a suicide such as mental health/substance abuse, interpersonal, life stressor, and suicide event circumstances. Early identification of high-risk individuals may successfully prevent suicide. RIVDRS data provide insight into common risk factors that can inform early identification by health care providers. This study explores adult suicide and circumstances by gender in Rhode Island during 2004 – 2010.
