Trends in US suicide deaths, 1999 to 2017, in the context of suicide prevention legislation

JAMA Feb 24, 2020

Mishara BL, et al. - Researchers explored whether suicide rates had growing trends similar to the increase in SA/SI ED visits. Between 2007 and 2015, this study reported that visits to US hospital emergency departments (EDs) for suicide attempts (SA) or suicide ideation (SI) doubled among youth aged 5 to 18 years. The question remains if this trend is paralleled by an increase in suicides. During this period, the United States has greatly invested in youth suicide prevention. This would recommend that prevention activities resulted in more youths seeking help in EDs whether only ED visits increased but not suicide mortality. Nevertheless, whether suicide had an increase similar to SA/SI, this might imply that more needs to be done or new approaches require to be undertaken.
