But earlier this month, Phillips presented the results of a second paper, an attempt to settle the question of whether the boomers were especially suicidal. Another way of assessing the impact of declines in the lethality of attempts on national figures is to forecast what the toll might have been had lethality not changed. From 1987 to 1993, deliberate self-harm was identified as persons admitted with a“reason for contact code” of 4 in the National Hospital Register. There is also evidence that the effect is bigger for famous people and gruesome attempts. Suicide and attempted suicide are still illegal in a large number of countries, including How much of the variation between countries is due to success rates in treating those who have attempted suicide; how much to differences in chosen methods; and how much to rates of suicidal behaviour? While it would obviously be inhuman to punish a failed suicide attempt with incarceration, even the seriously mentally ill need to know that their actions have consequences for those other than themselves. So, I will keep my promise I know it is not enough just to warn people who want to kill themselves that, if they try, they may not succeed and some terrible unanticipated consequence may follow. She sifted through eight decades of U.S. Well, that was the Greek method. Negative binomial regression was . We calculated attempt and death rates for five major methods and the lethality of these methods. Since most people who attempt suicide do not succeed, I feel I would be cheating you if I didn't share what I know about what can happen if you try to kill yourself and fail to get the job done. Paris used a meat cleaver to cut her arm and took a bunch of Motrin, and our sources say as a result they must classify it as a "suicide attempt." But, as one source put it, "Who takes Motrin to kill themselves? National data on suicide deaths and deliberate self-harm for the period 1994–2007 were obtained from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. There is clear evidence that this kind of content increases the use of specific suicide methods, as I wrote in 2009: a front page suicide story. Ironically, now that Hyundai have withdrawn it, it's eventual impact will probably owe more to those whose sense of moral outrage led them to repost it all over the web than to Hyundai. I have deliberately placed this as the first priority because of its huge impact upon the others.
