The suicide rate for men under the age of 35 has fallen in recent years following a consistent rise over the last three decades of the 20th century. However, it remains a leading cause of death in males aged under 35. Data from the Office of National Statistics suggests that since the 1999 government White Paper, “Saving Lives: Our Healthier Nation" (Department of Health, 1999), which set a target of cutting the suicide mortality rate by 20% by 2010, the prevalence of suicide amongst men aged 15 to 44 in England has dropped by 21%, from 20.2 to 15.9 suicides per 100 000 population.
