CharlesVermeulen.com - Weblog Charles Vermeulen: Suicide District Nickerie (2)

Suicide District Nickerie (2) · 14 October 2006, 07:27 CET by Charles Vermeulen

"An epidemiological study in the Nickerie catchment area revealed high rates of suicide (48 per 100,000) and attempted suicide (207 per 100,000) on average in the years 2000-2004."

Some extra info on suicide in Nickerie in an abstract of ‘High rates of suicide and attempted suicide using pesticides in Nickerie, Suriname, South America’, an article by, among others, T. Graafsma and A. Kerkhof published Crisis [2006; 27(2): 77-81], which suggests that 2004 has been a somber nadir.
