Abstract

Suicide rates in English counties were found to be associated with the age structure of the counties and the degree to which people in the counties were born in-county. The study was then repeated using analogous data for American states, and some of the differences were replicated, such as the relationship with the degree to which people were born in-state. The importance of replicating regional studies in several nations was stressed.
