Hypothesis
Results of the multivariate models predicting suicide rates from civil participation will differ by region.
Note
(See Table 3 in article) Results indicated that the European regions have a positive and significant impact on suicide rates, while regions in Africa, Asia, and North America have an insignificant association with suicide rates. Latin American regions will continue to have a negative and significant impact on suicide rates.
