Within-State Associations between Number of Community Mental Health Centers and Suicide Mortality Per 100,000 Persons. NOTE There are 51 states with 3 years of data. Data from 2014 to 2017 National Mental Health Services Survey (N-MHSS) to identify state-level community mental health center status during 2014–2017 and from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) data for suicide rates, identified as intentional self-harm by ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes U03, X60-X71, X72-X74, X75-X84, Y87.0. Predicted suicide mortality rates were estimated from the population-weighted multivariate linear regression model, adjusting for state-level number of mental health facility supply and mental health professionals per 100,000, state-level populations by age, state-level populations by race, state-level populations below 200% federal poverty level, as well as state and year.
