Study's methodology, quote:
This study, conducted in 2018, involved a secondary analysis of state-level data for the U.S. using multivariable linear regression. The relationship between the prevalence of household gun ownership and youth (aged 10–19 years) suicide rates was examined in a time-lagged analysis of state-level household gun ownership in 2004 and youth suicide rates in the subsequent decade (2005–2015), while controlling for the prevalence of youth suicide attempts and other risk factors. Unquote.

So gobbly-gook BS a second look last year on 2004 firearm ownership against a decade of adolescent suicide reports with censorship on those stats which don't fit the Principal's hypothesis.

Study conclusion, quote:

Because states with high levels of household gun ownership are likely to experience higher youth suicide rates, these states should be especially concerned about implementing programs and policies to ameliorate this risk. Unquote.

'Are likely' and 'should be' are firm conclusions...

Garbage in nonsense out, pure and simple!
