Abstract

Suicide is a leading cause of death worldwide. Approximately 3000 people die by suicide every day, equating to over 1 million deaths per year globally (World Health Organization,2002). The average global suicide rate is 14.5 (per 100000 population) although rates vary substantially by country and geographical region (Hawton and van Heeringen, 2009).
