However, the current suicide prevention strategy in Quebec does not include interventions targeted to adults aged 65 and over (1). To this day, only a few studies have evaluated the issue of late-life suicide in Quebec, particularly as a function of sex and age (1,2,3). Thus, the objective of this study was to describe the socioeconomic and clinical characteristics of suicides that occurred between January 2009 and December 2019 among Quebecers aged 65 and over.</p> Tue, 17 Jan 2023 20:36:07 +0000 Soukaina Ouizzane 4653509 at /epi-biostat-occh
