Research showing causes of male suicide: – Potts, B et al 2016, ‘Suicide in Queensland, 2011–2013: Mortality Rates and Related Data’, Australian Institute of Suicide Research and Prevention, Brisbane. The Potts article also shows male suicide is not usually related to mental health issues.
The following articles shows this applies particularly to farmers and older men: – Kunde, L et al 2017, ‘Pathways to Suicide in Australian Farmers: A Life Chart Analysis’, International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. – Almeida, OP et al 2016, ‘Suicide in older men: The health in men cohort study (HIMS)’, Preventive Medicine.
The National Suicide Prevention Implementation Plan spelling out how Australia’s health ministries across federal, state and territory governments will tackle suicide over the next 5 years – the plan is gender neutral and doesn’t focus on men. https://www2.health.vic.gov.au/mental-health/national-suicide-prevention-implementation-strategy
