Variations by State in Firearm Suicide Among US Children and Young Adults, 2016-2021, in JAMA Pediatrics
key takeaway: "In this study of firearm suicide among US children and young adults, there was important state-level variability, with the highest proportion of firearm deaths due to suicide observed in clusters in the Mountain West (Montana, North Dakota, Idaho, and Wyoming) and the Northeast (Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine). Suicide accounted for more than half the firearm deaths in 19 states for children aged 10 to 19 years and in 24 states for young adults aged 20 to 24 years."
