Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science in Nursing, Cleveland State University, School of Nursing.
Suicide or intentional self-harm was the tenth leading cause of death in the United States in 2013. Information available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show this ranking has remained consistent since the year 2008. One hundred and twelve suicides occurred each day in the year 2013. Yet, motivating factors of these suicides remain unexplored. This paper addresses the proposal for statistical analysis of existing suicide data from Clearfield County over a seven year period from January 1, 2008 to July 1, 2015. This study aids in determining if trends for suicide deaths in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania exist. A brief history and review of the literature will be presented regarding factors for suicide followed by the study methodology, design, and statistical analysis. Results from the study were limited due to missing information however some trends were still identified. Further research recommendations are also included for the future.
