Hi, Kwame McKenzie and I have just finished a major study and
publications are slowly emerging.
one on self harm is now published and is on open access:
http://www.biomedcentral.com/content/pdf/1471-2458-7-336.pdf
One other on South Asian women, a review of ethnicity and suicide, and
one including data on suicide rates and risk factors across ethnic
groups are all under review, should be in the public domain shortly.
There are several more emerging being prepared.
Best Wishes
