Eviction Tied To Higher Likelihood Of Committing Suicide

Reuters (11/14, Doyle) reported that people who undergo eviction from their homes may have a four times higher likelihood of committing suicide, according to a study published online Nov. 4 in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. In arriving at this conclusion, researchers examined data on some 22,000 households in Sweden during the years 2009 to 2012, then compared the data with data on a random sample of 10 percent of the general adult population of Sweden.
