abstract="In this paper we analyse suicides across the 17 Spanish regions over the period 2002-2013. In doing so, we estimate count panel data models considering gender differences taking into account before and during economic crisis periods. A range of aggregate socioeconomic regional-level factors have been considered. Our empirical results show that: (1) a socioeconomic urban-rural suicide differentials exist, (2) there exists a Mediterranean suicide pattern; and (3) unemployment levels have a marked importance during the crisis period. The results of this study may have usefulness for suicide prevention in Spain. © 2016, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
