TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Suicide amongst the agricultural sector in Ireland; 1982-1994 JO - Journal of the Irish Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons A1 - DaƩid, N. N. SP - 180 EP - 182 VL - 26 IS - 3 N2 - A large number of suicides (20%) which occur in Ireland are amongst the agricultural sector. Statistical records were examined and suicide fatalities amongst the agricultural sector identified and collated. Significant differences (X2, p=0.01) were found between the marital status, methods employed and age profiles of both men and women involved within the agricultural sector as compared with suicides as a whole over the same time period. Such information may be relevant to future suicide prevention strategies.
