  1. Summary of the Annual Percent Change (“APC”) in Crude Suicide Rates Joinpoints (“JP”s) on the trends in the urban and rural suicide rates and their 95% Confidence Intervals (“CI”s) using the data from the CDC-DSP and MOH-VR Systems (2004–2014). APC coefficients are the annual percent changes in suicide rates in the years between the specific joint points. Negative coefficient indicates downward trends; positive coefficient indicates upward trends. JPs are years when changes in suicide trends occur
