Another study on suicide and natural disasters I can't read

This study only uses one dataset but it looks at suicidality rather than
completed suicides. This covers the pre-states which lead people to make
attemtps.

I can't read the study so I really should post the conclusions but it's
important to show how one study says shit all.

CONCLUSIONS: There was a reported increase of suicidal cognitions and
attempts within 12 months following a natural disaster. Awareness of
increased suicidality, attention to associated risk factors, and support
regarding these may help in the prevention of suicide following disasters.
