Suicide Rate Determinants in 18 Asian and European Countries, 2000-2021

18 countries (6 Asian, 12 European) provide socioeconomic and cultural data from the World Data Bank spanning 2000 to 2021. The dataset was created by Fahimul Haque for a study that applied statistical and machine learning models to analyze suicide rate determinants. It was last updated on April 11, 2026.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking machine learning models for suicide rate prediction based on socioeconomic factors
• Analyzing cross-regional differences in suicide determinants between Asia and Europe
• Validating the explanatory power of sociocultural factors in public health models

Strengths

• Data covers a 22-year time range from 2000 to 2021
• Includes 18 countries across two distinct geographic regions
• Study reports specific model performance metrics (e.g., XGBoost test R² of 0.774 in Asia)

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Dataset is small (56.5 KB), indicating a limited scope of variables or observations
