Trends in Hanging and Firearm Suicide Rates in Australia: Substitution of Method?
De Leo, Diego; Dwyer, Jonathan; Firman, David; Neulinger, Kerryn
Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, v33 n2 p151-64 Spr 2003
This study examined the increase in the rate of suicide by hanging and an apparently simultaneous decrease in the rate of suicide by firearm as hypothetical evidence that Australian males have substituted one method of suicide for another. Individual suicide method choice may be related to independent changes in the social acceptability of each method. (Contains 32 references, 1 table, and 6 figures.) (Author/JBJ)
