Abstract
This brief study of suicide in Vietnam is concerned mainly with the available statistics. Smolski cites the limitations of Vietnamese statistics and of their French models. He presents the distribution of suicides by sex, age and method employed, comparing Vietnamese figures with those of France and other European nations. Smolski follows Durkheim's classification in his survey of the causes of suicide in Vietnam. Additional information on the entire subject of suicide and, specifically, on its causes can be found in Dr. Vu-Cong Hoe's study, DU SUICIDE DANS LA SOCIéTé ANNAMITE, document number 72 in the Indochina file.
