Experts Warn of Rising Suicide Rates of Black Girls
- chuckee 5y agoAbsent from that article is any kind of graph or straight-forward comparison. I could only find one for all ages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_in_the_United_States#/media/File:Age_adjusted_US_suicide_rate_by_race_1981-2016.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_in_the_United_States#/... (note that the x-axis does not start at 0) Some data in tabular form, on suicide rates by race and age-group: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/suicide/rates_1999_2017.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/suicide/rates_1999_2017... Notably, in that table, the suicide rate for every single gender and age group is significantly higher for whites compared to blacks, for 1999 and 2017.
