1996-1998年男性和女性自杀率的多变量模型在50个州使用涂尔干的社会整合的概念，空间整合，自杀的文化是我们的研究重点。使用多元回归分析，国家离婚率，教会成员，自杀批准，性别比例，人口密度，滞后1981-82自杀率似乎是统计学上显着的，这解释了90%的男性和79%的女性自杀率的变化。以前的报告基于这样的假设，即西部各州的自杀率很高，因为居住在西部的美国原住民自杀率很高，这一假设被拒绝了，第二个假设是，西部的高自杀率是由于西部比非西部使用枪支自杀。宏观层面的自杀率预测的有用性进行了讨论，我们得出的结论是，宏观层面的分析是必要的，以解释自杀的趋势，了解不同国家和民族之间的自杀水平的差异，以及人口之间的自杀年龄结构的差异。
A multivariate model of 1996-1998 male and female suicide rates in the 50 states using Durkheim's societal integration concepts, spatial integration, and the culture of suicide was the focus of our research. Using multiple regression analysis, state divorce rates, church membership, approval of suicide, sex ratios, population density, and lagged 1981-82 suicide rates appeared to be statistically significant, which explained 90 percent of male and 79 percent of female suicide rate variation. Previous reports based on the hypothesis that western states have high suicide rates due to the high suicide rates of Native Americans residing in the West was rejected, as was the second hypothesis that the high western rates are due to higher western than non-western use of firearms in suicide. The usefulness of macro-level predictors of suicide rates was discussed and we concluded that macro-level analysis was needed to explain trends in suicide, to understand differences in suicide levels among states and nations, as well as differences in the age structures of suicide among populations.
