Racial Differences in Suicide: The Effect of Economic Convergence.
South, Scott J.
Social Science Quarterly, v65 n1 p172-80 Mar 1984
Racial income covergence is shown to reduce the racial disparity in suicide by raising the suicide rates of non-White males and females. No evidence is found for the claim that the non-White suicide rate is less sensitive than the White suicide rate to economic fluctuations. (Author)
