1 Railway suicide clusters: how common are they and what predicts them? Lay San Too Jane Pirkis Allison Milner Lyndal Bugeja Matthew J. Spittal
2 Overview Background Aims Significance Methods Results Conclusions
3 What is suicide cluster? It is defined as unusually high numbers of suicidal behaviours occurring closer together in space and/or time than would be typically expected. Temporal cluster (mass cluster) It occurs comparatively close in time across varied locations. Spatial cluster It occurs within a small geographical area, not bounded by time. Spatial-temporal cluster (point cluster) It occurs in close temporal and geographical proximity to each other.
4 Burden of railway suicide and its cluster Adverse consequences of railway suicide Traumatic effects on family and friends as well as witnesses to the incident, including train drivers, other railway staff, and passengers. Financial loss to railway companies. Problems of railway suicide cluster Cumulative impact on these witnesses. Confer a risk of copycat acts.
5 Past research Existing evidence Suicides were not distributed randomly on the railway network; rather, there were distinct areas on the network where clusters occurred. These areas tended to located close to mental health institutions. Limitation of past studies They relied on rule-of-thumb definitions of a cluster rather than using a definition that accounts for the underlying suicide rate in the population. The scan statistics (SaTScan) Increasingly being used to detect suicide clusters. Considers the population size and the rate of the problem of interest. References: Krysinska & De Leo, 2008; Debbaut, Krysinska, & Andriessen, 2013; Emmerson & Cantor, 1993; O'Donnell & Farmer, 1993; Mishara, 2007
6 Aims 1) To identify clusters of railway suicides occurring closer in time, space, or both time and space using the scan statistics. 2) To investigate potential individual and neighbourhood factors that might be associated with a given railway suicide being part of a cluster.
7 Significance If clusters of railway suicides are identified, it can offer some clues as to where railway suicide prevention efforts should be focused.
8 Methods: setting, period, & data sources Study setting: Victoria, Australia. Study period: 1 Jan 2001 & 31 Dec Railway suicide data Sources: National Coronial Information System & Coroners Court of Victoria. Inclusion: Intentional self-harm by rail vehicle. Exclusion: 1) still under investigation; 2) missing residential postcode; 3) resided outside Victoria; or 4) died after being hit by a tram.
9 Methods: cluster detection To detect spatial, temporal and spatial-temporal cluster Poisson discrete scan statistic (SaTScan) Information on cases, area population estimates and area coordinates. Spatial window: 4.17% of the total population at risk. Spatial window shape: circular. Temporal window: 1-12 months. Monte Carlo stimulation: significant cluster (p-value < 0.05).
10 Methods: identification of associated factors To identify the factors associated with a railway suicide being in a cluster Case-control design Cases: clustered railway suicide Controls: non-clustered railway suicide
11 Methods: exposure variables Individual variable Data year Data sources Sex NCIS & CCOV Age NCIS & CCOV Marital status NCIS & CCOV Employment status NCIS & CCOV Diagnosed mental illness NCIS & CCOV Mental health hospitalisation history NCIS & CCOV NCIS, National Coronial Information System; CCOV, Coroners Court of Victoria
12 Methods: exposure variables Neighbourhood variable Data year Data sources Presence of railway tracks Geoscience Australia, MTM, V/Line Train frequency 2012 VicTrack Train speed 2014 VicTrack Number of surveillance units PTV, MTM Number of level crossing 2014 VicTrack Number of stations PTV, V/Line People who travel to work by train (%) 2011 ABS Census Number of station patronage PTV, MTM Number of pedestrian 2014 VicTrack MTM, Metro Trains Melbourne; PTV, Public Transport Victoria
13 Methods: exposure variables Neighbourhood variable Data year Data sources Social fragmentation 2001, 2006, 2011 ABS census Socioeconomic deprivation Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage Index of Economic Resources 2001, 2006, 2011 ABS census Number of assaults Victoria Police Statistics Alcohol outlets density Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation Number of mental health services 2014 Mental Health, Drugs & Regions (Victorian Government Department of Health) Number of secondary schools 2015 Department of Education and Early Childhood Development Overall suicide rate NCIS, ABS
14 Methods: statistical analysis Logistic regression model Univariate analysis Multivariate analysis, controlling for known confounders Stata 13.1
15 Results: cluster detection & characteristics Four spatial clusters. o 35% of all railway suicides (120/347). o Cluster size: from 23 to 38 suicides. o All clusters in urban area. o Five mental health institutions (inpatient treatments). o Contained sections of 7 train lines. o 66% occurred on open tracks, 16% in station areas, 9% at level crossings, 9% at pedestrian crossings No temporal and spatial-temporal clusters.
16 Results: multivariate analysis Variable Adjusted OR 95% CI p-value Individual-level Mental health hospitalisation Current inpatient Past inpatient Never inpatient 1.00 Neighbourhood-level Train frequency Number of stations % People who travel to work by train Index of Economic Resources
17 Conclusions Railway suicides can occur in clusters, particularly when individuals have had previous hospitalisations for mental illness and/or live in areas with a high frequency of train services. A response to railway suicide clusters is required. Possible interventions: Limiting access to the railways; Increasing surveillance at cluster locations. References: Cox et al., 2013; Pirkis et al.
