British farmers more than twice as likely to contemplate suicide as general population
British farmers are more than twice as likely as the general population to contemplate suicide, shows research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. The findings have prompted the authors to call for British farmers' mental health to be monitored in the aftermath of the recent foot and mouth crisis. The researchers based their findings on... view more... (2003-02-21)
