Suicide and open verdict deaths: Conclusions
It is important to bear in mind the small number
of deaths on which these analyses are based, thus making the interpretation
of these findings limited and complex statistical analyses inappropriate.
The rates of suicide among untrained personnel
do not differ significantly from those of an equivalent officer/rank
status who are trained.
Comparisons with the UK general population,
indicate that overall there are fewer deaths from suicide than
would be expected among untrained other ranks. Analyses by age
highlight more deaths among males <20 years of age (trained
and untrained) than expected based on equivalent UK general population
data, however, these increases were not statistically significant.
