The difference is that it's very cut and dry with POC and LGBT. Across gender lines the difference is murkier in adolescence - one attempts suicide at higher rates, but the other succeeds more often.
- scarmig 5y agoThe point is that gender still plays a far larger role in the structure of suicide demographics than either race or being LGBT, and it's odd to exclude any mention of that. The fact that boys commit suicide at 4x the rate of girls while girls attempt suicide at 3x the rate of boys is both interesting and more powerful in understanding the epidemiology of suicide than less elevated rates in smaller demographics.
