TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - A study of suicide in farmers in England and Wales JO - Journal of psychosomatic research A1 - Malmberg, A. A1 - Hawton, Keith E. A1 - Simkin, Sue SP - 107 EP - 111 VL - 43 IS - 1 N2 - The proportional mortality ratio for suicide is higher in farmers than in the general population. The reasons for this are likely to be complex, but may include easy availability of firearms, stress related to work, financial difficulties, and family problems. A psychological autopsy study of suicide in 84 farmers who died between 1991-1994 is presented and some preliminary findings are discussed.
