TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Suicide in the former Czechoslovakia: A cross-national perspective JO - Homeostasis in health and disease: international journal devoted to integrative brain functions and homeostatic systems A1 - Lester, David SP - 209 EP - 213 VL - 37 IS - 5 N2 - Epidemiological trends in Czechoslovakian suicide rates were compared and found to be somewhat consistent with world-wide trends. However, the time-series Czechoslovakian suicide rate was inconsistent with predictions made from Durkheim's classic theory of suicide. Finally, current theories of the etiology of suicide were used to successfully derive a linear regression equation which predicted the Czechoslovakian suicide rate quite accurately.
