Did they attempt to take the analysis back in time to use the larger dataset of schools being closed.
I.e. Has teen suicide in America always been higher when schools were open always, or is this somehow unique to the extra closures?
- loeg 5y ago> That’s not unexpected. Suicide death rates (for which we have decades of reliable data) among teens and young adults predictably fall during summer months, and also in December—that is, times when schools are the least in session. So, what our graphs above show, an apparent inverse correlation between school closings and suicidal behavior, is not unique to the Covid-19 pandemic.
