-- In 1996, the age-standardized mortality rate for suicide was 12.9 deaths per 100,000 population in Canada. Outlying regions in Far North and eastern Canada and urbanized regions in Quebec have high suicide mortality rates Peer group C, made up of regions in the Far North in eastern and central Canada had some of the highest mortality rates from suicide in Canada. In 1996, Northern Health Services Branch, Nunavut and the Région du Nunavik had rates significantly higher than the national average, of 27.5, 68.6 and 98.7 suicides per 100,000 respectively. However, the Burntwood/Churchill region in Manitoba fared better than the other regions in this group: its rate of 10.9 was not significantly different from the national average. Data for Région des Terres-Cries-de-la-Baie-James were suppressed due to high variability. -- larry On 12/9/05, Bill Wheatley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/factsheets/suifacts.htm > Suicide rates are highest among Whites and second highest among > American Indian and Native Alaskan men (CDC 2004). > > Because i just talk out my ass so much i guess i have to prove > everything i say :) > > > On 12/9/05, Jillian Koskie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If it truly is a statistic then I stand corrected... however it takes > > actual data to persuade me, not just somebody saying it is so. > > > > >Well it is a statistical fact that Native american man between certain > > >ages have the highest suicide rate in the united sates.
