> You can't extrapolate a subset of the suicides and compare that to the national average for all suicides. No, but you can't meaningfully compare suicide rates between socio-economic climates either. I mean, you can look at the numbers and say "each death is sad, I wish both were lower", but that's about it. Achieving that goal is something you have to do in context. Mandating that a wildly different culture meet your culture's definition of ... anything is a very dangerous game.
