Suicide mortality among youth in southern Brazil: a spatiotemporal evaluation of socioeconomic vulnerability.

CONCLUSION: While youth suicide is multifactorial, there are predictable geospatial and sociodemographic factors associated with high SMR among municipalities in Paraná. Suicide among youth aged 15-29 occurs in geographic clusters which are associated with socioeconomic deprivation. Rural settings with poor infrastructure and development also correlate with increased SMR clusters. PMID: 31433002 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
