Description
Alcohol Consumption Per Capita and Suicide: A Meta-Analysis
JAMA Network Open
This meta-analysis that included 13 studies assessed if alcohol consumption per capita is associated with suicide mortality and, if so, does the association differ by sex. Researchers found that a 1-L increase in alcohol consumption per capita was associated with a 3.59% increase in the suicide mortality rate. There was no evidence of a sex difference in this association. These findings suggest alcohol consumption per capita may be a useful target to consider within comprehensive national suicide prevention strategies.
