Question
In the article, “Differences Between Age and Sex in Adolescent Suicide,” by Lee, Dwyer, Paul, Clarke, Treleaven, and Roseby (2019), the methods in Chapter
17 (17.3) of your textbook were used to analyze the data. Please refer to this article in the Reading and Resources area of this week’s module. Use Table 1,
and Figures 1 and 2 in the article to respond to the following:
1. Describe one type of stressor that occurred statistically significantly more often in one age group over another (older vs younger). Describe which
age group was more likely to be affected by this stressor and by how much.
2. Which method of suicide are females statistically significantly more likely to use as compared to males? Which method do males tend to use more
than females? What other results are provided or what other data could be presented to help explain this finding?
3. Describe the story that is being told by Figure 1 and Figure 2. Then explain why the order of the colored lines (top to bottom) is different between
the two graphs.
