  1. It makes sense. Having broadband enables a person to identify the signs of suicidal ideation, whether through socialization or research. Healthcare allows for the confirmation and treatment needed. A high household income provides a better opportunity to monitor and remedy issues as they pop-up.

  2. All three of these things lead to better access to medications. (Good internet can also help you locate help online, discounted meds, etc)
