Problem 1:
In the year 2000 an estimated 815 000 people died from suicide around the world. This represents an annual global mortality rate of about 14.5 per 100 000 population - or one death every 40 seconds.
Briefly explain the social, religious and cultural differences in suicide.
Problem 2:
Suicidal behaviour has a large number of underlying causes. The factors that place individuals at risks for suicide are complex and interact with one another. Briefly describe three risk factors for suicidal behaviour and suggest what can be done to reduce/prevent them?
