I think it's more like: how would you rewrite this headline? Would you just leave off the second clause completely? Otherwise, if it does seem salient that the increase in suicide rate is higher among girls, how would you include that information without making people angry because they think that doing so ignores the historically higher rates among males?
To me, it seems like an okay headline. The focus of the story is on the change, so it's not wrong to focus on the areas that change more.

It's basically an admission that the facts are too complex to compress into a half-sentence, and if the reader wants to understand them they should read the actual article. But social cargo cult science has been operating like tabloid journalism for so long that this wouldn't even be considered.
