Suicide and the Irish problem: Comments on under-reporting

Journal/Book: Arch Suicide Res. 1997; 3: Spuiboulevard 50, PO Box 17, 3300 AA Dordrecht, Netherlands. Kluwer Academic Publ. 25-29.

Abstract: The Canter et al. (1997) study on under-reporting of suicide raises many important issues. Previous studies have raised similar concerns. This is particularly relevant because the government of Ireland appointed a Task Force on Suicide which is currently deliberating on all aspects of suicide and attempted suicide. This comment concludes that there is a greater need to clarify the problem of under-reporting of suicide in Ireland.
