The Connection between Macro and Micro Levels: States' Spending for Hospitals and Their Suicide Rates.
Zimmerman, Shirley L.
Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, v20 n1 p31-55 Spr 1990
Analyzed states' spending for hospitals and suicide rates in 1960, 1970, 1980, and 1984. Found spending was not directly related to suicide rates until 1984 when it accounted for 5 percent increase in variance. Considered effects of divorce rates, and change, density, economic level, and racial composition of population. Discusses implications of cost containment. (Author/PVV)
