abstract="Zekeri's comments (2007) on Bridges and Kunselman's work (2005) were not sufficiently grounded in sociological theory, the calculation of the &quot;rates of potential years of life lost&quot; (PYLL) was modified but unreported, and the use of PYLL, despite limitations as a measure of premature mortality &quot;was not justified.&quot; The theoretical framework, however, consisted of &quot;environmental&quot; and &quot;social group&quot; statements which gave a specific means for grounding &quot;premature mortality&quot; in sociological theory, and findings were consistent with Lester's social deviancy theory of suicide (1989). How the &quot;rates of PYLL&quot; were calculated, i.e., by the Canadian government is misinterpreted, although Allard, et al. (2004) provided justification for the use of age-standardized rates of PYLL in their 2005 study.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
