Assignment 2.1

[Sri Budi Fajariyan]

Researchers are interested in researching the problem of suicide in Thailand because the suicide rate has continued to increase during the last decade. Besides that research on suicide using macro data is still very limited.

One of the causes of suicide in Thailand is alcohol consumption, self-control in people who consume alcohol decreases and causes people with depression to be more daring to commit suicide.

Provinces in the northern region had the highest suicide rate compared with any other geographic area in Thailand. This is to the statistical results, which show that the income factor affects the incidence of suicide. The northern region is the region with the lowest income.

Thanks Sri Budi Fajariyan for you comments. Alcohol consumption and substance use are much related to mental health which can well lead to suicide… Risk factors of mental health and suicide are generally multi-factorial. I agree economic variables are much related to suicide and depression…. Hope you find the tools you learn in this course are useful for your future research, perhaps on non-communicable diseases. 🙂
