枪支自杀和杀人的比例过高，是由有精神病诊断的人犯下的，其中许多人有药物滥用史。这项研究评估了是否选定的变量，可能表明增加获得精神卫生保健或已知的人口统计学危险因素的火器创伤最好的预测状态变化，枪支杀人和自杀。偏相关系数表明，在一个特定的国家是非洲裔美国人或西班牙裔的人口比例显着相关的增加国家枪支凶杀案。在一个特定的州内，获得学士学位的人口比例与州枪支凶杀案的减少有关。此外，增加国家枪支拥有率与枪支自杀显着相关，而国家教育支出与枪支自杀显着减少。研究结果表明，一个州内的心理健康资源与枪支杀人和自杀率的关联最小。然而，州教育成就和教育支出水平降低了枪支死亡率。
A disproportionate share of firearm suicides and homicides are committed by individuals who have a psychiatric diagnosis, many with a history of substance abuse. This study assessed whether selected variables that potentially indicate increased access to mental health care or known demographic risk factors for firearm trauma best predicted state variations in firearm homicide and suicide. Partial correlation coefficients indicated that the proportion of the population within a given state that was African American or Hispanic was significantly associated with increased state firearm homicides. The percent of the population within a given state that had earned a Baccalaureate degree was associated with decreased state firearm homicides. Additionally, increased state firearm ownership rates were significantly associated with firearm suicides, while state educational expenditures were associated with a significant reduction in firearm suicides. The findings suggest that mental health resources within a state have minimal association with firearm homicide and suicide rates. However, state levels of educational achievement and educational expenditures reduce firearm mortality.
