abstract="Every 18 minutes a life is lost to suicide. Approximately every hour and a half, an elderly adult age 65 and over takes his/her life by suicide. Despite a decline in the rate of suicides over the past several years, suicides by elderly white males remains high. This paper provides a descriptive epidemiology of elderly suicides in a southern rural population and discusses implications for preventive health services that must be implemented to decrease the number of successful elderly suicides.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
