CDC study shows suicidal thoughts and behavior vary among U.S. adults
Study looks at data from 2008 through 2009
Every 15 minutes, someone in the United States dies by suicide. And for every person who dies, there are many more who think about, plan or attempt suicide, according to a report released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Serious thoughts of suicide range from about 1 in 50 adults in Georgia (2.1 percent) to 1 in 15 in Utah (6.8 percent). For suicide attempts, the range goes from 1 in 1000 adults in Delaware and Georgia (0.1 percent) to 1 in 67 in Rhode Island (1.5 percent). This report is the first to present state-level data concerning suicidal thoughts and behavior among adults in the United States. >>Learn more
