Issue Date: | 1987 | Citation: | Tsoi, W.F., Kua, E.H. (1987). Suicide following parasuicide in Singapore. British Journal of Psychiatry 151 (OCT.) : 543-545. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Suicide was attempted by 1641 people (502 males and 1139 females) in Singapore during 1980. Eleven of these committed suicide during the following three years, giving a suicide rate of 0.67%. Of the eleven suicides, five had schizophrenia and three depression. The risk of suicide in the year following attempted suicide is lower in Singapore (0.5%) than in Britain (1.6%). High risk factors for the Singapore patients were being Chinese, being male, and having a mental illness. | Source Title: | British Journal of Psychiatry | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/134042 | ISSN: | 00071250 |
