Explaining regional differences in suicide rates. 1995

D Lester
Center for the Study of Suicide, Blackwood, NJ 08012, USA.

Social characteristics of the states of America in 1959-1961 predicted the suicide rate of those born in noncontiguous states and abroad, but not the suicide rates of those born in-state or in contiguous states. The results were seen as supporting the selective migration explanation of state suicide rates and as not supporting composition and local area explanations.
