DEMOGRAPHIC AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL TRANSITIONS OF RAPE AND SUICIDE IN JAMAICA, 1970–2024: A LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND PUBLIC HEALTH DETERMINANTS
This study examines the demographic and epidemiological transition of rape and suicide in Jamaica between 1970 and 2024, exploring how patterns of gender, age, region, and socioeconomic context have shaped the prevalence and characteristics of these public health and social issues. The analysis employed a mixed-methods design, integrating quantitative data from the Jamaica Constabulary Force, the Statistical Institute of Jamaica, and the Ministry of Health with qualitative insights from published research, policy documents, and regional comparative studies.
