Summary of the mean annual increases in suicide rate per 100,000 and join points for time trends in five East/Southeast Asian countries, 1995–2011.

Rates per 100,000 are age-standardised rates for Taiwan, Japan, and the Republic of Korea, and crude rates for Hong Kong and Singapore. Data for Singapore are for 1996–2011.aSegments were linear trends between join points (i.e., the years when the trends changed) identified using joinpoint regression, which characterises time trends as contiguous linear segments and join points.b95% CI could not be estimated by the joinpoint regression as the segment included only two data points.β, mean annual increase in suicide rate per 100,000.
