The Lethal Connection - Investigating the Relationship of Drought Conditions on Firearm and Non-Firearm Suicides Among U.S. Adults

[not my usual fare, but fascinating - and not in a good way :/ … not trying to be trite, but hydrology / water resources are crucial across so many areas]
H/T @GeoHealth Journal
“🌵🧠 Drought can disrupt livelihoods, strain communities, increase financial stress, and deepen uncertainty. All of these are factors that may contribute to psychological distress.
📊 Yet in the U.S., the relationship between drought and suicide mortality has remained understudied. This nationwide study examined drought and suicide deaths across the contiguous U.S. from 2000–2018.
🌾 The study measured drought severity using the Evaporative Demand Drought Index and used suicide mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics.
📈 Both firearm and non-firearm suicide mortality were positively associated with drought, especially under severe conditions.
⚠️ Severe drought was associated with higher suicide mortality across several subgroups, including older adults, women, and people living in non-metro areas, though subgroup findings were not statistically compared.
🛡️ Climate-related hazards can affect health through social, economic, and psychological pathways, not only through physical exposure. Drought preparedness should include mental health supports, rural outreach, financial stress interventions, and suicide prevention resources tailored to communities facing prolonged environmental stress…”

I must admit I’m enjoying all the #RFKjr takedowns floating around the net, but I am more encouraged that a brave congressperson has filed articles of impeachment against the man. The dude in charge of nat’l health policy is a mentally addled quack & his actions are gonna kill people & bring back #ChildhoodDiseases big time. After decades of #PublicHealth advances, we’re turning back the clock & rapidly losing ground. The #TrumpAdministration attack on #Medicaid makes things even worse. Rural hospitals are closing & what physicians are available are fleeing red states. We’re gonna look like a 3rd world country in the USA.
