Background: I am a researcher at the National Institutes of Health charged with studying the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on suicide rates in Japan.
Request: I need a report on suicide rates in Japan during the COVID-19 pandemic.  This would include cases in which the pandemic is identified as a causal factor, but also other factors from that period even if not clearly associated with the pandemic.  I am not looking for information on suicide rates in Japan more generally, however, unless that is used as a basis for comparison with rates during the pandemic.
