TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Rural and urban suicide in South Korea JO - Psychological reports A1 - Park, B. C. Ben A1 - Lester, David SP - 495 EP - 497 VL - 111 IS - 2 N2 - Suicide rates in 2005 in South Korea were higher in rural areas than in urban areas. Those in rural areas more often used pesticides and chemicals as a method for suicide, and there was a greater proportion of men and the elderly, both groups at higher risk for suicide in South Korea. These three factors may account for the high rural suicide rate in South Korea.
