Our World in Data is not a suitable source for suicide statistics, especially if you're comparing different countries across time.

They don't tell you what populations they're using; they don't tell you how these different countries are counting suicide; they don't tell you whether the methods for counting have changed over time in these countries.

The data source is the World Health Organization. The data quality from different countries is included in their report.

The data for western Europe and the US is of high quality.

Which data would be of higher quality?
