14th August 2014 - Suicide section update

This is the annual update of the Suicide topic on the ScotPHO website. It is based on information on deaths from suicide (intentional self-harm and events of undetermined intent) registered in Scotland in recent years, up to 2013. It includes numbers and rates at Scotland level, and by NHS board, local authority and deprivation decile. These figures are published to coincide with the release of the latest (2013) statistics on suicide by the National Records of Scotland (NRS).

See the Publication Summary (90Kb) document published on the ISD Scotland website (a lead partner in the ScotPHO collaboration) for further details.
