In this study, one exposed group is people who are in the 15-24 age group and had the recent stressor of mental illness. What is the unexposed group for this example? Why is it important to consider both the suicide rate and the relative risk when analyzing a stressor's effect on suicide? In terms of suicide risk, which stressors affect the elderly (65+) more than other age groups? In terms of suicide risk, which stressors affect women more than men?
