Abstract (300 words maximum)

For my project I will be comparing population density and suicide rates within each state of the United States. Humans are social animals and we require cooperation and interaction to keep our species thriving. The reason I'm doing this project is to see if a lack of interaction with others in more sparsely populated areas can lead people to a greater likelihood of poor mental health and suicide. Is it important for us to provide better mental health facilities to rural communities? If the opposite is true, or there's no correlation what could that mean?
