Figure 4.6.4: Deaths from suicide
Age standardized rates per 100,000 population, Middlesex-London and Ontario, 2007 to 2016
Source:
Office of the Chief Coroner for Ontario, Received July 20, 2018; Population Estimates, Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, IntelliHEALTH Ontario, Date Extracted: May 22, 2018There was no significant difference in suicide death rates between Middlesex-London and Ontario.
There appears to be an upward trend in rate of deaths from suicide in Middlesex-London between 2011 and 2016, although not statistically significant. Small counts of suicide create large confidence intervals and therefore a substantial change in rates would be needed to see a statistically significant difference.
