    Author: Young TJ.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1991 Jun; 68(3 Pt 2):1137-8. PubMed ID: 1924613.
    Abstract:
    Analysis of data for 12 areas of the Indian Health Services from the US Department of Health and Human Services yielded a rho of .61 between poverty and suicide for men and a significant rho of .65 for poverty with homicide rates. The Navajo area is an exception, raising for study questions about social disintegration. For the women, poverty was not significantly related to suicide or homicide rates, raising additional questions about social disintegration.
