abstract="Cause-specific mortality statistics are afflicted by errors which are especially significant when dealing with suicide. For that reason the authors study the procedure officially followed in Spain for the recording of cases of completed suicide, and evaluate the resulting differences in the Canary Islands, comparing the official figures with those obtained by them in a study recording suicides throughout the period 1977-1983. Given that official statistics record less than 50% of the suicides registered in their study, they propose a change in the system used for the recording of suicide in Spain.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
