Abstract

Analysis of data from the Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek in the Netherlands showed that the suicide rate by domestic gas dropped from 1959 to 1975 as the percentage of carbon monoxide in domestic gas was reduced. Suicide by all other methods rose more sharply during the latter part of this period, suggesting that people may have switched methods for suicide.

  • Switching methods is difficult because restricting access to a common method such as household coal gas in the United Kingdom and firearms in Switzerland was followed by large reductions in suicide rates mainly due to those methods, and very little method substitution even over several years.

    “Switching methods is known to be difficult because restricting access to a common method—such as household coal gas in the United Kingdom (245-247) and firearms in Switzerland (248)—was followed by large reductions in suicide rates, mainly due to those methods, and very little method substitution even over several years.”

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.
