Issue Date: | 1992 | Citation: | Kok Lee Peng, Aw Soh Choo (1992). Suicide in Singapore, 1986. Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry 26 (4) : 599-608. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Three hundred and forty-two cases of suicide in Singapore (1986) were studied. The rates were highest among Indians males. Jumping from a height was the method used by 60% of the subjects, and the predominant associated factor as ascertained by the coroner was illness (51%), both physical and mental. About 40% had seen a doctor in the year prior to their death, and 20% had a history of a previous suicide attempt. The majority of cases killed themselves during the daylight hours. | Source Title: | Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/134028 | ISSN: | 00048674 |
