Dark contrasts: the paradox of high rates of suicide in happy places
Description
U.S. and international data provide evidence for a paradox: the happiest places tend to have the highest suicide rates.
Usage
data(Dalyww)
Format
A data frame with 51 observations on the following four variables.
SRU
Suicide rate (unadjusted).
ASHR
Adjusted suicide hazard ratio.
RCLS
Raw coefficients on life satisfaction.
ACLS
Adjusted coefficients on life satisfaction.
Details
Assessing the correlation across states between their suicide rankings and their life satisfaction rankings allows us to get a better sense of the correlation between the two while still retaining all observations, including the states that are apparent outliers.
