Geographic inequalities in suicide mortality in Italy: Insights from spatial epidemiology

Sensitivity analyses confirmed that demographic factors play a limited explanatory role. These findings underscore the value of spatial epidemiology in suicide research and support geographically targeted prevention strategies.
