Foundation for data

Centre for Suicide Research keeps two public registers

• Register for Suicides

Register for Suicides is kept on the basis of numbers from the National Board of Health and their register for cause of death.

• Register for Suicide Attempts

Since 1989 Centre for Suicide Research has registered suicide attempts in the administrative district of Funen on the basis of case records from emergency sections. The numbers from Funen indicate the development of suicide attempts on a national basis since the population of Funen is said to make up a representative section of the Danish population.

Bank of statistics

Statistics are worked out on a yearly basis covering the development in rates distributed over gender, age, administrative district and method. From the pool of statistics statistical figures can be drawn in a flexible way. The bank of statistics is not in English, please contact statistician Boerge Jensen, , for statistical information.

Apart from the two public registers, Centre for Suicide Research does research on the basis of surveys based on questionnaires and interview studies.
