Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Disease

His main research concerns Suicide prevention, Injury prevention, Occupational safety and health, Unemployment and Recession. His study of Suicide methods is a part of Suicide prevention. Shu-Sen Chang combines subjects such as Medical emergency, Confidence interval, Global health, Public health and Human factors and ergonomics with his study of Injury prevention.

In his works, Shu-Sen Chang conducts interdisciplinary research on Occupational safety and health and Epidemiology. He works mostly in the field of Unemployment, limiting it down to concerns involving Per capita and, occasionally, Social protection. As part of one scientific family, Shu-Sen Chang deals mainly with the area of Recession, narrowing it down to issues related to the Demographic economics, and often Depression and Mental health.

His most cited work include:

  • Impact of 2008 global economic crisis on suicide: time trend study in 54 countries (356 citations)
  • Was the economic crisis 1997-1998 responsible for rising suicide rates in East/Southeast Asia? A time-trend analysis for Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Thailand. (285 citations)
  • Means restriction for suicide prevention (279 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Shu-Sen Chang mainly focuses on Suicide prevention, Injury prevention, Occupational safety and health, Suicide methods and Environmental health. His Suicide prevention study incorporates themes from Incidence, Psychiatry, Medical emergency, Human factors and ergonomics and Unemployment. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Per capita and Recession.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Mortality rate, Socioeconomic status and Confidence interval in addition to Injury prevention. His Suicide methods research integrates issues from Rate ratio and Charcoal-burning suicide. He works mostly in the field of Environmental health, limiting it down to topics relating to Public health and, in certain cases, Epidemiology, as a part of the same area of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Suicide prevention (79.49%)
  • Injury prevention (41.88%)
  • Occupational safety and health (39.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Suicide prevention (79.49%)
  • Confidence interval (16.24%)
  • Socioeconomic status (18.80%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Suicide prevention, Confidence interval, Socioeconomic status, Injury prevention and Environmental health. His work carried out in the field of Suicide prevention brings together such families of science as Cause of death and Population study. His studies in Confidence interval integrate themes in fields like Proportional hazards model, Cohort study and Cohort.

His Socioeconomic status research includes elements of Economic indicator, Population size, Unemployment and Per capita. His Injury prevention study overlaps with Occupational safety and health and Rural area. His Environmental health study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Substance use and Tobacco use.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Psychiatric morbidity and suicidal behaviour in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review and meta-analysis (23 citations)
  • Spatial patterning, correlates, and inequality in suicide across 432 neighborhoods in Taipei City, Taiwan. (9 citations)
  • Trends in pesticide suicide in South Korea, 1983-2014. (6 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Disease

Shu-Sen Chang mostly deals with Suicide prevention, Injury prevention, Occupational safety and health, Human factors and ergonomics and Socioeconomic status. His primary area of study in Suicide prevention is in the field of Suicidal ideation. His Injury prevention study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Schizophrenia.

You can notice a mix of various disciplines of study, such as Charcoal-burning suicide, Coroner, Suicide methods, Emergency medicine and Chlorpyrifos, in his Occupational safety and health studies. His study in Socioeconomic status is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cohort effect, Population size and Annual Percent Change. In the subject of general Confidence interval, his work in Rate ratio and Relative risk is often linked to Household income, Fruit wine and Wine, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
