abstract="Doubt about the reliability of official suicide statistics has been noted for over 200 years. Confounding issues include State or religious sanctions; there may be insurance considerations; there is family and community sensitivity about the recording of suicide; different professions are entrusted with the delineation of suicide; and there are differences between clinical and legal definitions of suicide. Systematic studies suggest that official figures provide a valid basis for broad comparisons, but that does not negate the importance of ensuring that suicide data are robust and reliable. © 2010 The Australian and New Zealand Association of Psychiatry, Psychology and Law.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
