http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss6013a1.htm?s_cid=ss6013a1_w According to this study people in Utah have the highest thoughts of suicide.
With no rings, no real major cities, no booze, no pr0n, and no coffee, most people would be suicidal too!
Two words....... Michael Jordan Thats the root of the problem... I guessing Cleveland is a close 2nd....
I have a friend who wants to move to Utah. Clearly he's not a basketball fan. Maybe this will convince him to stay away.

What's the suspected reason and how much greater is the suicide rate than other states? No, i'm not reading that abstract.

I bet the suicides are mostly non-Mormons. Life gets harder when you don't conform to the dominant local ideology.
Having lived in rural Utah for a couple of years, my thoughts would lead me to the opposite conclusion. Not to turn this into a D&D thread or an LDS thread, but consider that LDS in Utah, particularly outside the metropolitan areas, are a bit more, um, exacting in their faith. Girls are essentially raised with a certain outcome in mind, so you're intentionally limiting the potential of over half your populace. The status of young men are very much dependent on Dad's status and how much money you have to go on mission trips. Again, you effectively limit the potential of some of the males. Not a good approach for either sex. Also, the rural communities are especially stratified with the descendants of major town founders having the prime positions and even fellow LDS who moved into the area recently are not exactly made to feel welcome. Not to mention the polygamists (and there are more than just the cults in the news recently) and all the little offshoots of Mormonism that don't get a lot of attention but can be much more strict than your regular LDS. Again, these are my observations from having lived in rural Utah for a few years, but I've also found that the farther you get away from rural Utah, the less likely LDS folks are to come close to this image.
