title: Demographic and social profile of suicide mortality in Australia.
abstract: "In Australia, death rates from suicide of young and middle-aged men increased between the early 1970s and the early 1990s, whereas those of older men and of women declined markedly. The article identifies the possible extent of underreporting of suicides. The study then examines variations in the incidence of suicide by selected social characteristics of the population: marital status, social class and economic conditions, province of residence and country of birth. It closes by suggesting a tentative conceptual model linking social structures with levels of suicide." (SUMMARY IN ITA AND FRE)
