TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Suicide in an international perspective JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Lester, David SP - 104 EP - 111 VL - 27 IS - 1 N2 - Epidemiological trends in national suicide rates were identified, including a slowdown in the 1980s in the suicide rates of nations with the highest rates and a rising male suicide rate worldwide. A review of theories of national differences in suicide rates permitted selection of a small set of predictor variables, which were quite successful in predicting the suicide rates of 17 industrialized nations.
