how else to explain the fact that number of attempts is higher for women yet number of suicides is lower? it means number of attempts can't predict number of suicides, so it is counting something unrelated.
- slipframe 5y agoIt's counting suicide attempts, not suicides. Obviously one rate does not predict the other, but does that mean suicide attempts aren't worth tracking? I don't think so. And I don't know how to explain the discrepancy, but that's what the data says. Being unable to explain the data doesn't mean the data is wrong.
