A widely cited study of suicide rates for different occupations in the U.S. has been retracted.
The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention produced the 2016 study that showed the "farming, fishing and forestry" occupational group suffered a higher rate of suicide than any other occupation.
The CDC retracted the study, issuing a notice about errors in the initial data.
Among the errors was mis-classifying farmers into the wrong occupation group, which resulted in being overstated.
