This data shows deaths (of people age 10 and over) from Suicide and Undetermined Injury, numbers and rates by gender, as 3-year moving-averages. Suicide is a significant cause of premature deaths occurring generally at younger ages than other common causes of premature mortality. It may also be seen as an indicator of underlying rates of mental ill-health. Directly Age-Standardised Rates (DASR) are shown in the data, where numbers are sufficient, so that death rates can be directly compared between areas. The DASR calculation applies Age-specific rates to a Standard (European) population to cancel out possible effects on crude rates due to different age structures among populations, thus enabling direct comparisons of rates. The figures in this dataset include deaths recorded as suicide (people age 10 and over) and undetermined injury (age 15 and over) as those are mostly likely also to have been caused by self-harm rather than unverifiable accident, neglect or abuse. The population denominators for rates are age 10 and over. Low numbers may result in zero values or missing data.

Dataset for Deaths from Suicide and Undetermined Injury age 10 and over. Data for 2010-2012 and onwards has been Directly Age-Standardised to the 2013 European Standard Population. This means earlier data would not be comparable (because that was Standardised to the earlier 1976 version of the European Standard Population).
Metadata for Deaths from Suicide and Undetermined Injury dataset. This file contains Metadata (information about a dataset). It shows the schema for dataset fields and their contents. This file should be used along with the dataset, to aid correct interpretation of the data.
