Abstract

Two hypotheses were considered for the association between accidental death rates and suicide rates: (1) that suicidal deaths may be misclassified occasionally as accidental deaths, and (2) that accidental death rates provide an index of the availability of methods for suicide. Correlations over time produced results supporting the second hypothesis.
