a

QPC coefficients are the quarterly percent change in suicide rates between the specified join points. Negative coefficients indicate downward trends. Positive coefficients indicate upward trends.

b

JPs indicate the quarter-years when a change in trends in suicide rates is estimated.

c

The QPC is significantly different from zero at alpha = 0.05.
