The study looked at suicide rates in 23 countries to see if they are temporary or permanent. They used a special test to check if the rates stayed the same over time. The results showed that in 7 out of the 23 countries, the suicide rates were stable. This means that the government should focus on preventing sudden changes that could lead to more suicides.
