What is it about?
In this paper we provide a description of the different structural determinants, such as social capital, trust, socioeconomic context, among others,?that may explain the changes in suicidal behaviors in different age and sex groups in Spain. Our findings indicate that the impact of different determinants on suicide may vary considerably from one group to another.

Why is it important?
The present study is relevant in that it offers a more sociological view of the problem of suicide as opposed to other explanations from the field of psychology and psychiatry that tend to emphasize individual determinants (mental health and risk behaviors).
