What this measures

Suicide mortality rate (per 100,000 population). Source: World Health Organization Global Health Observatory. For this measure, higher is worse.

Estimates from a statistical model. Differences between countries partly reflect how deaths are registered, and how deaths of unclear intent are recorded. Those recording habits are linked to both religion and income.
