Özet

Suicidal behaviour, like other human behaviours, is a result of socioeconomic and psychological conditions. The research, it is aimed to examine the relationship between socioeconomic factors such as economic income levels, social status and quality of life, and suicidal behaviour in comparison with classical and Bayesian negative binomial regression models. The findings showed that suicidal behaviour increased due to the decrease in economic status and inequality of income distribution among young people. At the same time, it has been determined that employment and divorce rates reduce suicidal behaviour. As a result, it was determined that social and economic factors affected suicidal behaviour in the 15-24 age group, and solutions were suggested.
