Résumé

More young people in rural areas commit suicide than those in urban areas—by a factor of almost two, and a new study shows that the gap is widening. The researchers examined data files from 1996 to 2010 from the National Center for Health Statistics. They identified distinct groups by population size and urban or rural status and grouped decedents into four cause-of-death categories.
