Projected Increases in Suicide in Canada as a Consequence of COVID-19 2020-05-19 .txt text/plain 1959 86 48 Time-trend regression models were used to evaluate and predict the number of excess suicides in 2020 and 2021 for two possible projection scenarios following the COVID-19 pandemic: 1) an increase in unemployment of 1.6% in 2020, 1.2% in 2021, or 2) an increase in unemployment of 10.7% in 2020, 8.9% in 2021. We recently reported that the rapid rise in unemployment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic is predicted to result in 3, 164 excess suicides between 2020 and 2021, representing a 3.3-8.4% increase in suicides per year from the 2018 rate of 48,432 suicides in the USA (McIntyre and Lee, 2020). Time-trend regression models were used to evaluate and predict the number of excess suicides attributable to the projected rise in unemployment rate following the COVID-19 pandemic. ./cache/cord-333974-mvo2k2jt.txt ./txt/cord-333974-mvo2k2jt.txt
