N2  - Recent epidemiological trends in American suicide rates were compared with world-wide trends and found to be quite divergent. In addition, the time-series American suicide rate was not predictable using measures of family social integration. Current theories of the etiology of suicide were used to derive a linear regression equation to predict suicide rates, but this equation over-estimated the American suicide rate.     Understanding the patterns and trends in a nation's suicide rate can be greatly enhanced by comparing these patterns and trends with those in other nations.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
