abstract="BACKGROUND: Suicide mortality tends to vary in a population. The aim of this study was to find the turning points, if any, in suicide mortality in Finland in 1947-2006. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data on 64,483 deaths from suicide over the 60-year period were obtained from Statistics Finland. Structural changing points were estimated by using multiple regression models. RESULTS: In 1955-1959 suicide mortality turned into worse for women. For men the turning point to worse was in 1968-1974 and to better in 1987-1995. CONCLUSIONS: Continuous work and research is needed to enhance suicide prevention at regional level.<p /><p>Language: fi</p>",
