Suicide and self-inflicted injury hospitalizations in Canada (1979 to 2014/15).
The purpose of this paper is to describe the trends and patterns of self-inflicted injuries, available from Canadian administrative data between 1979 and 2014/15, in order to inform and improve suicide prevention efforts. ⋯ Suicides and self-inflicted injuries continue to be a serious - but preventable - public health problem that requires ongoing surveillance.
