Summary of request

The table details the number of suicides among those classified as full-time students aged 18 years and above at the time of death registration. Figures are for deaths registered in West Midlands and England between 2012 and 2016.

The numbers detailed in this data set cannot be used to ascertain the risk of suicide among students. Year to year differences in numbers of deaths may merely reflect change in the population of students across time as opposed to change in the risk of suicide. Also, the figures cannot be used to distinguish the type of student.
