Research Summary
This report was designed to examine the factors related to firearm suicides and
suicides using alternate methods. In addition, it analysed the relationship between
firearms ownership and firearm suicide rates in each province, and also examined the
effects of the 1977 gun control amendments (Bill C-51) on suicide rates.
Three research strategies were employed, including a literature review, a secondary
analysis of vital statistics and coroners data, and an examination of primary data (from a
random sample of suicides in Ontario).
