The Underrecording of Suicides in State and National Records, Alaska, 1983-1984.
Hlady, W. Gary; Middaugh, John P.
Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, v18 n3 p237-44 Fall 1988
Searched state and national vital statistics records for suicides in Alaska (1983-1984). Of 195 deaths meeting case definition of suicide, 141 appeared in state records; 112 in national records. Native suicides were more likely to be underrecorded that non-Native suicides. Errors resulted primarily from delayed determinations of cause of death and failure to update records. (Author/NB)
