Population size and suicide in US cities: A static and dynamic exploration

SUICIDE AND LIFE-THREATENING BEHAVIOR, 37(5), 553–564.

By: P. McCall n & C. Tittle n

MeSH headings : Adult; Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Cross-Sectional Studies; Female; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Population Density; Suicide / trends; United States / epidemiology; Vital Statistics
TL;DR: Results indicate that an association between population and suicide is atypical, and even when observed is highly sensitive to methodological specifications, calling into question the notion that larger city population size is conducive to suicide as well as the assumption that studies of suicide and urbanization can substitute for studies of Suicide and City population size.
