To Whom It May Concern :
As part of a Research Project conducted by the Centre for Research and Intervention on Suicide, Ethical Issues and End of Life Practices (CRISE) in Montreal, Canada, I would like to address the following request to the Queesland Governmen. I am looking to obtain statistical data on deaths by suicide, by number and rate per 100,000 population for Queensland from 1969 (or earliest possible) onwards. Whenever possible please provide breakdowns for:
• a) both sexes, b) male, and c) female
• classified by year, from 1969 (or earlier) to 2016 (or later).
This information is crucial to our analyses as part of a project to better understand the effect of decriminalisation of suicide attempts. Your help is therefore greatly appreciated. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any additional clarifications.
Thank you for your consideration,
