Abstract

A study of the states of the United States showed that suicide rates using car exhaust were lower in states that had lower rates of car ownership, a greater proportion of the population living in non-urban areas and that were further north. The implications of these results for a public health approach to suicide prevention are discussed.

摘要

一项对美国各州的研究表明，在汽车拥有率较低、居住在非城市地区的人口比例较高且地处更北部的州，使用汽车尾气自杀的比率较低。本文讨论了这些结果对预防自杀的公共卫生方法的启示。
