A study of the deviant behavior among the inhabitants of the Vologda oblast
The death rate of the population from suicides exceeds the tolerable point established by the WHO (20 deaths per 100 thousand population) 5 or 6 times in some areas of the Vologda oblast. The studies have shown that suicides are most often among the mid-age rural men. The major factors behind the high suicidal risk are low living standards, dissatisfaction with the occupational activity, alcohol and drug addiction, etc. The deaths caused by self-destructive behavior were found to lead the region to economic losses at over 1% of the GRP.
