N2  - AIM: The aim of this study was to describe the population of people who had committed suicide in Auckland in the nine years, 1989 to 1997. METHODS: We extracted data from the police records to the coroner and the autopsy reports on people who had killed themselves in the Auckland coronial region. RESULTS: Suicide is common and disproportionately affects young men, the unemployed and sickness beneficiaries. Few people who kill themselves appear to be in contact with the mental health services. CONCLUSIONS: For effective prevention, up to date local information on suicide and deliberate self-harm is needed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
