Context

... No extra. Need maybe no markdown? Plain text. Good. Need check "under 120 words total" for expanded. We have 110. Good. "2 short paragraphs" yes. "entirely original wording, never copying source phrasing." We used "suicide-related deaths", "undetermined intent", "statistically significant associations", "folic acid prescriptions" maybe common phrases. Could be okay? "never copying source phrasing" means avoid exact phrases? Some terms unavoidable. But maybe "deaths of undetermined intent" is source phrase. Could rephrase "deaths classified as undetermined intent" still. "suicide-related deaths" source phrase. Maybe acceptable? To be safe, paraphrase: "fatal incidents linked to suicide" but source says suicide-related deaths. We can use "deaths tied to suicide" etc. "intentional self-harm" source phrase. Could rephrase "deliberate self-injury". "statistically significant associations" source phrase. Could rephrase "no meaningful statistical links". "folic acid prescriptions" source
