“…A two-tailed Pearson chi-square test (Garson, 2001) was used to determine significant differences and the 95% confidence intervals were calculated using the incomplete beta function (Sauro, 2004). To minimize the possibility of chance significant findings, the p value of significant tests (p) was multiplied by the total number of variables analyzed (K) according to the Bonferroni method (Altman, 1997) so that adjusted P 0 ¼ P(K) (Altman, 1997).…”

Background: Three quarters of UK suicides were not in contact with mental health services one year before dying. The characteristics of this group of suicides have not been adequately explored. Aim: Identify risk factors in no-contact suicides and explain non-referral to Mental Health Services (MHS). Method: Ongoing, observational, retrospective survey of all suicides in West Kent (population 988,027) over 5 years. No contact suicides are compared with MHS suicides through standard questionnaires completed by consultant psychiatrists, and general practitioners, and by examining coroners' records. Results: No contact suicides were significantly more likely to be male, employed, living with others and not diagnosed with a mental disorder. They have a significantly lesser frequency of previous selfharm. Their suicide risk is retrospectively estimated to be lower. 50.5% of all suicides were either not registered, had no general practitioner contact, or were last seen 13 weeks or more before suicide. These characteristics can explain non referral to specialist services. Conclusion: No-contact suicides take place to a considerable extent outside the current limitations of primary health and social care systems. Many have a different risk factor profile, and are similar to people who do not seek medical help in the first place. Declaration of interest: None.

“…Discriminant validity is about whether one construct is indeed different from other constructs, and there is no overlap in the measuring indicators of one construct with another (Churchill, 1979;Garson, 2002). One way to assess discriminant validity is to examine the correlations of the different variables in Table 3.…”

“…Its optimal scaling property converts categorical variables into numerical variables to find the best model fit. That is, CATREG maximizes goodness of fit by finding appropriate values for categorical variables (Garson, 2001). Also, to find the relative importance of explanatory variables, CATREG is preferred to other methods.…”

The U.S. is predicted to be the largest wine consumer by 2008. The driving forces of globalization have significantly altered the competitive landscape of wine industry. While the demand for wine in the U.S. is growing, U.S. wineries continue to lose domestic market share. In order to counter foreign competition as well as grow in this volatile environment, they must evolve by adopting a stronger market orientation. That is, consumers should be at the core of any plan. This shift in orientation requires a solid understanding of consumption behavior of wine drinkers in the U.S. To this end, this paper offers a fresh perspective on the consumption behavior of wine drinkers in the U.S. In this study, we estimate econometrically the determinants of wine consumption. One of the goals of this study is also to provide a roadmap to identify and quantify determinants of wine consumption by employing an econometric procedure called Categorical Regression Estimation for non-numeric response variables. In empirically testing such effects, we used 122 survey responses and found significant positive relationship between knowledge and consumption of wine. Although age and race appear to influence consumption of wine, knowledge remains the most important determinant in wine consumption. The results imply that U.S. wineries need to better educate and connect with consumers by developing compatible positioning strategies and marketing programs that are as informative as entertaining. The results provide further managerial and theoretical implications and directions for future research addressing consumption behavior of drinkers in the U.S.
