Suicide rates are lower in counties with more health insurance coverage, greater internet access and higher incomes, a new study in @CDCMMWR finds: cdc.gov/vitalsigns/prevent-s… #CDCVitalSigns

Suicide risk tied to local conditions

More health insurance, internet access, income=lower suicide risk.
