Keyword: Suicide

Abstract: Substance use and psychological disorders are often associated with suicide risk. Hierarchical regression on data from 209 countries showed that country-level prevalence of alcohol use significantly predicted suicide rates, while cannabis use prevalence did not. Results highlight the significant role of alcohol use in suicide risk at a population level.
