  • Does Mental Health and Guardianship Legislation in Western Australia (WA
    Does mental health and guardianship legislation in Western Australia (WA) protect elderly persons from human rights abuse, and ensure procedural and substantive justice? Neville Francis Hills The University of Western Australia This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia The work presented in this thesis was performed in the Law School 2016 Thesis: Doctor of Philosophy – Mental Health Law Declaration This is to certify that this thesis does not incorporate, without acknowledgement, any material previously submitted for a degree or diploma from any university and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, does not contain any material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the text. Signed Name Neville Francis Hills Date December 1, 2016 i Thesis: Doctor of Philosophy – Mental Health Law Abstract This thesis addresses matters affecting the liberty, rights and welfare of older people in Western Australia (WA). Restriction of personal liberty to choose where to live, and who to associate with, is usually only permitted under criminal law, following legal processes. Mental health legislation also permits restraints on freedom of individuals, subject to legal oversight of the process. Admission into an aged care facility may restrict a person’s liberty, if placed in a locked area which they cannot leave without staff assistance. Laws regulating these procedures should be fair, open to scrutiny, and meeting international standards of law and good practice. In 2015 there were 16,350 Commonwealth funded aged care beds in 263 facilities in WA.

We undertook a qualitative study in order to understand the living conditions of adolescents who had attempted to take their lives in five Mexican states. We interviewed 37 adolescents who had engaged in suicide attempts in the year prior to our study. To code and analyze the information, we defined the following three categories of living conditions as social determinants of health for adolescents: poverty and vulnerability, education, and health care. To this end, we followed the methodology proposed by Taylor and Bogdan, and used Atlas.ti 7.5.18 software for analyses. Among our findings, we noted that poverty, manifested primarily as material deprivation, rendered the daily lives of our interviewees precarious, compromising even their basic needs. All the young people analyzed had either received medical, psychological, and/or psychiatric care as outpatients or had been hospitalized.

  • Study of Suicide Burden of Mortality in México 1990-2017
    DOI: 10.1590/1980-549720200069 ARTÍCULO ORIGINAL / ORIGINAL ARTICLE Estudio de la carga de la mortalidad por suicidio en México 1990-2017 Study of suicide burden of mortality in México 1990-2017 Claudio Alberto Dávila CervantesI , Ana Melisa Pardo MontañoII RESUMEN: Objetivo: El principal objetivo fue analizar el nivel y la tendencia de la carga de mortalidad del suicidio en México entre 1990 y 2017, a escala nacional y estatal. Métodos: Análisis secundario basado en el estudio de la Carga Global de la Enfermedad de 2017. Se reportan tasas de mortalidad y los años de vida perdidos por muerte prematura (APMP). Para analizar la tendencia de los APMP se realizó un análisis de regresión joinpoint basado en el modelo log-lineal. Resultados: La carga de la enfermedad por suicidio se incrementó en México, principalmente en hombres y mujeres jóvenes; aunque el aumento en los adultos mayores es un reto adicional para los servicios de salud. La carga de la enfermedad varía sustancialmente entre los estados del país. Las tasas de mortalidad masculinas fueron mayores a las femeninas durante todo el periodo de estudio, aunque con una tendencia a reducir la diferencia entre ambos sexos. Se observó un patrón bimodal de la carga de la enfermedad por suicidio en México, con mayores tasas en los 15-19 años de edad y un importante incremento a partir de los 85 años de edad. Conclusión: los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto un panorama preocupante, no solo desde el punto de vista social, económico y de salud, sino también en cuanto a las necesidades en materia de políticas públicas.

  • A Social History of Suicide in Mexico City, 1900–1930
    on e A Social History of Suicide in Mexico City, 1900–1930 statistics convince and confuse. Citing numerical data to back a claim lends it an air of legitimacy, but scholars acknowledge that the collec- tion and interpretation of data can be problematic. Nonetheless, part and parcel of nation building in the nineteenth century was the establishment of institutions to collect data on everything from topography to mortality rates. Mexican officials first began assembling statistics to define the geographical and geological facets of the country. Description rather than determinism motivated early data collectors. As scientific politics took hold during the Porfiriato, a cadre of specialists expanded the scope of statistics gathering to population counts and number of marriages, births, and deaths. Not long afterward, counting incidences of crimes like homicide featured heavily in the mission of these experts. Statistics took a deterministic turn when Porfirian intellectuals started to wield them to rule society and gauge its advancement. Statistical gathering and analysis were at the root of a scientific method to measure the march of progress. Indeed, the 1889 federal government publica- tion, the Periódico Oficial, was prefaced with an 1888 directive that President Díaz wanted to present data at the 1889 Paris Exposition that showed not only the “material progress, but also the moral progress” that Mexico had achieved. The presidential order mandated that all states compile criminal statistics (including data on suicide) between 1870 and 1885 and send this information to the federal government.1 Porfirian intellectual Antonio Peñafiel claimed that the use of statistics in Mexico began with the Chichimeca ruler Nepaltzin, who mandated a count of his people when they reached the Valley of Mexico after the conquest.

  • Harvard Injury Control Research Center Firearms Research Publications Through December 2018
    Harvard Injury Control Research Center Firearms Research Publications through December 2018 Since 1990, HICRC’s small team of researchers has published 150 books, book chapters and journal articles on guns, along with various editorials, letters, responses, encyclopedia entries, etc. Among many accomplishments, Center research was: 1.The first to describe national gun storage practices—and to show that firearm owners who have received training are not more likely to store their guns safely. 2. The first to determine what is actually taught in firearm training classes 3. The first to show that members of the National Rifle Association support most sensible gun control laws. 4. The first to document the various ways guns are used by batterers to intimidate their intimate partners. 5. The first to document the psychological costs of gun ownership on the community. 6. The first to explain the large overestimates of self-defense gun use. 7. The first to demonstrate that most so-called self-defense gun use is illegal, and inimical to society. 8. The first to document the association between gun carrying in motor vehicles and road rage. 9. The first to determine whose guns are being stolen. 10. The first to provide national information on guns on college campuses, and the type of students who bring guns to college. 11. The first to document that the majority of inner-city teens who have carried guns illegally would prefer to live in a world where it was impossible for teens such as themselves to have access to firearms. 12. The first to document that the major reason why both rates of killings of police and killings of civilians by police vary so greatly across US states.

International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, vol 35, no 4, April 2020, pp 384-395. While suicidal behavior often manifests in adolescence and early adulthood, some people first attempt suicide in late life. A cross-sectional case-control study was conducted in older adults aged 50+ (mean: 65), divided into early- and late-onset attempters (age at first attempt aged 50 or less or over 50, mean: 31 vs 61), suicide ideators as well as non-suicidal depressed and healthy controls. Personality was assessed in terms of the five-factor model (FFM, n = 200) and five DSM personality disorders analysed on the trait level as continuous scores (PDs, n = 160). Given the starting hypothesis about late-onset attempters, the FFM dimension conscientiousness was further tested on the subcomponent level. All clinical groups displayed more maladaptive profiles than healthy subjects.
