Suicide rates
| Content Provider | OECD iLibrary |

| Abstract | Suicide rates are defined as the number of deaths deliberately initiated and performed by a person in the full knowledge or expectation of its fatal outcome. Comparability of data between countries is affected by a number of reporting criteria, including how a person's intention of killing themselves is ascertained, who is responsible for completing the death certificate, whether a forensic investigation is carried out, and the provisions for confidentiality of the cause of death. Caution is required therefore in interpreting variations across countries. This indicator is presented as a total and per gender and is measured in terms of deaths per 100 000 persons. |
