The biggest uptick in suicide rates is happening where population, and social stimulation, is measurably lower, according to a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
Could the presence of more local beauty shops, sports teams, and nature walks have an effect on suicide rates? Perhaps, according to a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association . The biggest uptick in suicide rates is happening where population, and social stimulation, is measurably lower.
“While our findings are disheartening, we’re hopeful that they will guide efforts to support Americans who are struggling, especially in rural areas where suicide has increased the most and the fastest,” said lead researcher Danielle Steelesmith, Ph.D., via a press release. “We know the people who are working in industries such as coal mining are already at greater risk of suicide because they are predominantly white, middle-aged males,” Borders said in an interview with ABC News.
Similarly, 'social capital' was weighed by the presence of spectator sports, beauty shops, arts or nature facilities and civic organizations. The research found lower social capital in rural counties with frequent suicides. There were also fewer romantic and cultural connections in these areas.
