FRSEMR 45u - Suicide and Violence: a Public Health Perspective

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

Approximately one million people die by suicide each year - or one death every 40 seconds. Another million die by violence directed at others: 600,000 by homicide and 400,000 in armed conflicts. In the United States too, annual suicide deaths outnumber homicide deaths, but both take a large and disproportionate toll on young people. This course provides an introduction to the scientific study of suicide and violence in the United States and abroad from a public health perspective.
