Life Course Indicator: Suicide
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Notes on calculation: The ICD-10 codes denoting suicide are X60X84, Y87.0, and U03. In the NVSS mortality data set, the ICD-10 codes have been grouped into 39 underlying causes of death, one of which is suicide and can be used to calculate this indicator. Because the suicide rate for people under 10 is very small and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) WISQARS system only provides suicide mortality rates for people ages 10 and older, the numerator and denominator should be restricted to people ages 10 and older. Because of differences in population distribution by age, suicide rates should be age-adjusted when examined as a total rate. The CDC presents age-adjusted rates using the standard 2000 population; a reference for calculating age-adjusted rates using this population can be accessed here: cdc.gov/nchs/data/statnt/statnt20.pdf The Life Course Metrics Project

متن کاملSUICIDE WITHOUT EXPLICIT PRECURSORS : Secret Despair Syndrome
Although it is usually assumed that all those who commit suicide give some prior indication of their intention to take their own life, there is growing evidence that a small but significant proportion of suicides occur without clear, explicit indicators. It is proposed that these suicides emerge from similar pathways to other suicides but the despair is not expressed so clearly, often being kep...
