Occupation-related suicide: The impact of the Census Act and the Population (Statistics) Act on research based on individual-level mortality data (2004)
Thesis
Milwid, L. Occupation-related suicide: The impact of the Census Act and the Population (Statistics) Act on research based on individual-level mortality data. (Dissertation). University of Salford

A comprehensive review of the literature reveals a deficit in explanation for the differences in suicide-risk between occupations. Two studies of occupation-related suicide in England and Wales (Kelly et al, 1995; Kelly & Bunting, 1998) are unusual i...
