Findings: The highest rates of suicide were amongst those who reported an impairment affecting their day-to-day activities, those who were long term unemployed or never had worked, or those who were single or separated. Rates of suicide were highest in the White and Mixed/multiple ethnic groups compared to other ethnicities, and in people who reported a religious affiliation compared with those who had no religion. Comparison of minimally adjusted models (predictor, sex and age) with fully-adjusted models (sex, age, ethnicity, region, partnership status, religious affiliation, day-to-day impairments, armed forces membership and socioeconomic status) identified key predictors which remain important risk factors after accounting for other characteristics; day-to-day impairments were still found to increase the incidence of suicide relative to those whose activities were not impaired after adjusting for employment status. Overall, rates of suicide were higher in men compared to females across all ages, with the highest rates in 40-to-50-year-olds.

This has prompted governments to finally face these disparities and find ways to quickly deliver more equitable pandemic support. These rapid data informed supports proved that learning health systems (LHS) could be quickly mobilized and effectively used to develop healthcare actions that delivered healthcare interventions that matched diverse populations' needs in equitable and affordable ways. Within LHS, data are viewed as a starting point researchers can use to inform practice and subsequent research. Despite this innovative approach, the quality and depth of data collection and robust analyses varies throughout healthcare, with data lacking across the quadruple aims. Often, large data gaps pertaining to community socio-demographics, patient perceptions of healthcare quality and the social determinants of health exist. This prevents a robust understanding of the healthcare landscape, leaving marginalized populations uncounted and at the sidelines of improvement efforts. These gaps are often viewed by researchers as indication that more data is needed rather than an opportunity to critically analyze and iteratively learn from multiple sources of pre-existing data. This continued cycle of data collection and analysis leaves one to wonder if healthcare has a data problem or a learning problem. In this commentary, we discuss ways healthcare data are often used and how LHS disrupts this cycle, turning data into learning opportunities that inform healthcare practice and future research in real time.

The massive size of such databases is often mistaken as a guarantee for valid inferences. However, population data have characteristics that make them challenging to use. Various assumptions on population coverage and data quality are commonly made, including how such data were captured and what types of processing have been applied to them. Furthermore, the full potential of population data can often only be unlocked when such data are linked to other databases. Record linkage often implies subtle technical problems, which are easily missed. We discuss a diverse range of myths and misconceptions relevant for anybody capturing, processing, linking, or analysing population data. Remarkably, many of these myths and misconceptions are due to the social nature of data collections and are therefore missed by purely technical accounts of data processing. Many are also not well documented in scientific publications.
