MALE miners with relationship problems are at greater risk of suicide than other men.

A Griffith University study has compared the psychiatric histories and life events among men in mining and other occupations prior to their deaths.

Lead researcher Dr Samara McPhedran says the link between relationship issues and suicide is well known.

However, she says the higher suicide risk relationship strains can cause for miners is a new finding.

"The findings suggest that in terms of addressing possible risk factors for suicide among mining workers, family relationships may be a key issue for many men," Dr McPhedran said in a statement.

"Knowing this may help us to identify and assist miners who are at risk of suicide, as well as point the way to possible industry-specific intervention strategies."

Dr McPhedran said programs that strengthen and support mining family relationships, including support for miners' partners, could help address the issue.
