Good to see + see earlier study

It is most welcome to see attention given to the complexity surrounding suicide attempts in men, and the examination of possible preventative interventions. I would also draw the authors' attention to a similar study, published in 2010 by the Men's Health Information and Resource Centre (MHIRC) at the University of Western Sydney: "Pathways to despair: the social determinants of male suicide (aged 24-44), Central Coast, NSW. http://www.uws.edu.au/__d...

Competing interests declared: I assisted the research team (of health workers and UWS researchers) in writing up the 'Pathways to despair...' research.
