  • Abstract

    Importance: Population-based findings on physician suicide are of great relevance because this is an important and understudied topic.

    Objective(s): To evaluate male and female physician suicide risks compared with the general population from 1980 to date and test whether there is a reduction of SMR in cohorts after 1980 compared with before 1980 via a meta-analysis, modeling studies, and a systematic review emphasizing physician suicide risk factors.
