Youth Suicide and Preceding Mental Health Diagnosis


key takeaway: "This cross-sectional study of 40 618 youth suicide decedents from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Violent Death Reporting System found 24 192 decedents (59.6%) had no previously documented mental health diagnosis and 19 027 (46.8%) died by firearm suicide. The odds of having a documented mental health diagnosis were lower among racially and ethnically minoritized youths and among youths who used firearms."
