Abstract:
The study presented includes all cases of suicide in Geneva from 1991 to 1995. Data reviewed in this article show a decrease of the suicide rate despite of severe unemployment as a concomitant of economic stagnation. This fact may be attributable to the efficiency of local preventive measures in the field of medical care and social welfare.
