Researcher(s):
Dr Dermot O'Reilly, Dr Michael Rosato and Dr Sheelah Connelly
Organisation(s):
Queen’s University, Belfast
Database:
NIMS
Project Summary:
Suicide rates vary markedly between geographic areas but it is unclear whether or not this is due to differences in the populations of the areas (composition effects) or to factors which operate at an area level (contextual effects). This study uses to NI-LS to examine a number of area level characteristics to determine if they are independently related to suicide risk after adjustment for individual and family characteristics.
