Suicidology is the scientific study of suicidal behaviour, the causes of suicidality and suicide prevention. Every year, more than 720,000 people die by suicide in the world, setting its mortality rate at about 9/100,000. Suicidologists believe that suicide is largely preventable with the right actions, knowledge about suicide, and a change in society's view of suicide to make it more acceptable to talk about suicide. Suicidology draws from many fields of social science, primarily psychology and sociology but also medicine, philosophy and public health.
