The Epidemiology of Suicide Attempts, 1960 to 1971
Abstract
Although the suicide rate has been relatively stable in the United States and other countries over the last decade, there has been a marked increase in suicide attempts. A review of English language studies between 1960 and 1971 documents the increases, their magnitude and characteristics. The striking international consistencies in the age, sex, personality of the attempters, as well as the social context and method of attempts, indicates that self-destruction in the young is a major public health problem for the 70s requiring new approaches at the level of primary prevention.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
