On the influence of data source in aggregated data studies
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to assess the differences in suicide data obtained from different database sources. DESIGN--Death certificate based data on suicidal deaths were compared with the information obtained from the non-natural death investigation files at the Public Prosecutor's Office. SETTING--The study was confined to the time period of 1981-1984 and to the residents of the district of Leuven (Belgium) who died in the district. MAIN RES…
Epidemiological aspects of suicide among the young in selected European countries
Trends in reported suicide rates were analysed for the ages 5-24 years in 21 selected European countries in 1970-74 and 1980-84. In children the precision of the rates was found to be low though there appeared to be a trend to increased suicide in boys. In adolescent and young adult males, however, there was a definite increase in suicide over the period studied, and this was much more marked than in females, in whom the rates had declined in eig…

Self‐purification of sea‐water from bacteriological contamination
The survival time of different pathogenic bacteria has been determined in sea‐water under stationary conditions. Some pathogens are relatively stable and may develop in the aquatic medium. Only E. coli disappears more quickly in sea‐water than in physiological saline. The survival time of the other micro‐organisms differs little for both waters. The data show that the test for water quality evaluation must be extended to other genera than E. coli
