谎言……可恶的谎言……还有自杀统计数据！“世上有三种谎言：谎言、可恶的谎言和统计数据”。这句话出自马克·吐温的《自传》（1924年），据说出自迪斯雷利之口。
Lies ... damned lies ... and suicide statistics! 'There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics'. Statement attributed to Disraeli in Mark Twain's Autobiography (1924).

Abstract
In the absence of any measurable outcome in psychiatry, suicide is now regarded as an outcome measure in Mental Health Services. The National Service Framework (NSF) has set the reduction of the suicide rate by 20 per cent over the next seven years as a national priority. This article will examine how reliable suicide is as an outcome measure.
摘要
由于在精神病学领域缺乏任何可衡量的成果，自杀现在被视为心理健康服务中的一项成果衡量指标。国家服务框架（NSF）已将在未来七年内将自杀率降低20%作为国家优先事项。本文将探讨自杀作为一项成果衡量指标的可靠性如何。
