- Title
Suicide mortality in South Africa: a city-level comparison across socio-demographic groups.
- Authors
Burrows, Stephanie; Laflamme, Lucie
- Abstract
South Africa offers a valuable study environment to assess the impact of political and social changes on health. Increasing urbanisation has led to a focus on city development and its effect on its residents. The study assesses whether sex- and race-specific suicide rates differ across six of South Africa's major cities. Regional differences may reflect varying contextual and individual underlying mechanisms. Those need to be understood for appropriately targeted prevention efforts.
