Suicide in prisons: an international study of prevalence and contributory factors.
Prison suicide rates, rate ratios, and associations with prison-related factors need clarification and updating. We examined prison suicide rates in countries where reliable information was available, associations with a range of prison-service and health-service related factors, how these rates compared with the general population, and changes over the past decade. ⋯ Wellcome Trust and the UK National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).
