July 11, 2006 (Press Release) --
Mental-health disorders, intimate partner conflicts and felony-related crimes were the leading contributing factors to suicides and homicides in seven U.S. states during 2003 and 2004, a study released Thursday found.
Intimate partner violence and felony-related crimes were key causes of homicides during the period, while mental-health problems and partner conflicts played the largest role in suicides, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS).
The statistics for suicide and homicide rates showed a decrease of 6.2 percent and 8.9 percent, respectively. The causative findings are expected to be used to develop prevention strategies to reduce the number of violent deaths nationwide, the report said.
