Supplementary notes
Original question:" Out of every 100
deaths of men and
boys aged 15 to 24 in
[COUNTRY], about how
many do you think
were by suicide?"
In most countries the source used a source for the actual number of deaths that were by suicide that defines suicide as death by intentional self-harm (ICD-10 codes X60-X84). In
the UK, the source used a source that defines suicide as death by intentional self-harm and also death caused by undetermined intent (ICD-10 codes Y10-Y34). This is because
this is the definition of suicide used widely in the UK.
