📌 Suicide rates among young people are also changing over time, but these trends vary between countries.

In some countries, suicide rates are rising among young people. But in many other countries, they are stable or declining.

We've published an update & redesign to our page at @OurWorldInData on Suicides, with some highlights:

• Suicide rates vary worldwide
• Suicide rates have declined in many countries
• Deaths by suicide are under-reported in many countries

Remember the "hungry judges" study, which has now been included in two huge bestselling books by Daniel Kahneman (among many other places)?

Now we have another relevant study, and it reminds us that the original one was just too good to be true: https://inews.co.uk/news/do-judges-give-out-tougher-sentences-when-hungry-the-story-behind-a-study-too-good-to-be-true-2238347

The proportions reported in the article don't consider the variation within individual papers.

Reanalysing their data from OSF:

Individual articles range from 0-50% somewhat inaccurate or entirely false citations!

RT @ianhussey
Are citations in the psychology literature accurate? Did the work cited actually support the claim made in the citing work?

Across 3347 citations in 8 leading psych journals, 9.3% of citations were partially inaccurate & 9.5% were entirely false.

BUT:

Terrible to see the many reports about rising suicide rates among young people in the US.

I wanted to see whether this is also happening in other countries.
In many other countries it isn't happening, and rates are mostly constant or falling

@dingding_peng decolonization ftw

A recent, careful study came out in the AER showing that the Facebook rollout to colleges hurt mental health. So I looked at the aggregate data to see if this showed up in overall trends and there’s nothing!

By 2008 FB is open to the public but no change in aggregate outcomes
