US Topo maps are updated on a three-year production cycle (maps covering one third of the country are updated each year). The US Topo production schedule follows the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) collection schedule. This does not include US Topos for Alaska, which are on a different schedule. The linework features shown on the maps are generated...

With its 2018 Adult Population Survey and National Expert Survey, GEM has completed 20 years of entrepreneurship research in economies from a wide range of regions and economic development levels around the world. This 20th anniversary report profiles 49 economies with respect to demographics, their potential impact, the diversity of forms they take, and their longer-term sustainability. A look back at 20 years shows how entrepreneurship has evolved over time in five countries (the United States, Brazil, Germany, Iran and China). Finally, the report looks outward at the environment for entrepreneurship, reporting on societal attitudes, self-perceptions and entrepreneurial affiliations with entrepreneurs, and then introducing the National Entrepreneurship Context Index, which ranks economies based on 12 indicators of the external context that can influence entrepreneurship.

The 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) survey represents the 17th year that GEM has tracked rates of entrepreneurship across multiple phases and assessed the characteristics, motivations and ambitions of entrepreneurs, and the attitudes societies have toward this activity. This report covers results based on 60 economies completing the Adult Population Survey (APS) and 62 economies completing the National Expert Survey (NES). Part 2 of this report features a page of results on each economy, with numbers and rankings on key GEM indicators from the APS, as well as an assessment of ecosystem factors from the NES.

Entrepreneurs are among the happiest individuals across the globe when it comes to individual well-being and satisfaction with their work conditions according to the GEM 2013 Global Report. The report, launched on 20th January 2014 in Santiago, Chile, marks fifteen years of GEM research.

In France, the National Public Health Agency (Santé Publique France) has implemented an epidemiological surveillance for suicide attempts and suicides in France. The objective of this study was to examine the evolution of suicides and suicide attempts over the last 10 years in metropolitan France.

For both databases (suicide attempts and deaths by suicide), Santé publique France also provided information concerning age (5-year age groups), gender, and the method used for suicide in 10 categories: drug self-intoxication (X60, X61, X62, X63, X64), intoxication by other products (alcohol, solvents, gas, pesticides, chemicals) (X65, X66, X67, X68, X69), self-inflicted injury by exposure to smoke, flames and gas (X75, X76, X77), self-inflicted injury by sharp object (X78, X79), self-inflicted injury by hanging, strangulation, suffocation (X70), self-inflicted injury by jumping (X80), self-inflicted injury by firearm (X72, X73, X74), self-inflicted injury by drowning or submersion (X71), self-inflicted injury by intentional collision (X81, X82), self-inflicted injury by unspecified means (X83, X84).

We calculated a rate of suicide and suicide attempts per department and year, using the number of inhabitants per department and year provided on a database available on the INSEE website ( ; National institute for statistics and economic studies).

The number of suicides and suicide attempts has decreased over the last ten years. Before 2012, the number of suicide attempts was over 100,000 and the number of suicide was over 10,000. After 2012, a continuous decrease was observed with 90,000 suicide attempts (2018) and less than 9000 suicides (2015). Thus, between 2009 and 2015, the total number of suicides decreased by 14.49%, and the total number of attempted suicides decreased by 11.69%.

This study reports two important observations. First, a decrease of suicides and suicide attempts occurred in France since 2010. Secondly, a seasonality is repeatedly observed over years, regarding both suicides and suicide attempts, with a peak in spring.

Regarding the decrease of suicides and suicide attempts from 2010, it may be the consequence of several suicide prevention programs launched in France and worldwide since 2000. The four axes of suicide prevention defined by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health8 are: promoting prevention, reducing access to lethal means, promoting access to healthcare, and improving knowledge of the epidemiological situation9. In a review of the literature of efficient interventions on suicide prevention, the three most efficient categories of interventions were the limitation of access to lethal means, the preservation of contact with the patients hospitalized for a suicide attempt after hospitalization, and the implementation of emergency call centers10. Over the last 10 years in France, this kind of measures to prevent suicidal repetitions have been implemented, through postcards, recalls and home visits11. These interventions have shown a tendency to reduce suicidal repetitions11. In addition, the VigilanS system has been implemented in many regions in France, combining brief contact interventions and a sanitary monitoring of suicide attempts12,13.

Some limitations should be acknowledged. First, the suicide database extracted from the death certificates has an underestimation of about 10% for the national data, due in particular to deaths for which the cause remains undetermined or to those for which a forensic examination has been carried out and the conclusion has not been reported35. Similarly, a probably non-negligible and difficult to estimate number of suicide attempts are not medicalized, and therefore have not been recorded in our databases. However, this rate of non-medicalized suicide attempts seems to be stable over time36. This is also a common caveats, already reported by numerous studies examining suicide behaviors. Second, only two-third of patients who attempted suicide had a reported psychiatric comorbidity. This rate suggests that either a significant proportion of patients with suicidal behavior have no psychiatric history or that such history is under-diagnosed or sought in practice. It may also be that there is a lack of coding or reporting of these psychiatric disorders in hospital departments. In addition, we were unable to explore psychiatric comorbidities associated with deaths by suicide because of a lack of information on the death certificates. A review about psychological autopsy studies estimated that more than 90% of suicide deaths are associated with a comorbid psychiatric disorder37. This under-reporting / under-coding of psychiatric comorbidities after a suicide attempt or a death by suicide shows that there is a need to improve the screening for associated psychiatric disorders in France. In our analyses, we were interested in the distribution of the different psychiatric disorders rather than their prevalence. Despite these limitations, this work presents a good epidemiological synthesis of the state of suicide and suicide attempts in France over the last years. 2ff7e9595c
