Suicide prevention profile: November 2018 update
The suicide prevention profile has been produced to help develop understanding at a local level and support an intelligence driven approach to suicide prevention. These indicators are being updated in the profile for every County and unitary authority in England: age-standardised suicide rate per 100,000 population (3-year average) - persons, males and females; suicide rate per 100,000 population (5-year average) - males aged 10 to 34 years, males 35 to 64 years and males aged 65 years and over; adult social care users who have as much social contact as they would like; unemployment rate within the working age population; statutory homelessness - eligible homeless people not in priority need per 1,000 households; statutory homelessness - households in temporary accommodation per 1,000 households; the percentage of opiate drug users that left drug treatment successfully who do not re-present to treatment within 6 months; the percentage of non-opiate drug users that left drug treatment successfully who do not re-present to treatment within 6 months; the percentage of alcohol users that left alcohol treatment successfully who do not re-present to treatment within 6 months. The suicide prevention profile collates and presents a range of publicly available data on suicide, associated prevalence, risk factors, and service contact among groups at increased risk. It provides planners, providers and stakeholders with the means to profile their area and benchmark against similar populations.
