A December 2007 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified this age group as most likely to commit suicide, but the findings received little media attention, according to Eric Caine, co-director of the Center for the Study of Prevention of Suicide at the University of Rochester Medical Center. He said the latest study, which analyzed CDC data, adds important demographic information. “It underscores that when you look at large population trends, you have to dig into the data and understand this doesn’t affect all groups equally,” Caine said. “I don’t know if I would say that the fundamental epidemiology of suicide is changing; but this is a very important finding.” Caine was not associated with the study. Caine agreed with the study’s recommendation to develop prevention programs for people in their middle years. While a tremendous amount of money goes toward school-based prevention programs, he said, “The rates really do increase substantially at 18 or 19, and those kids are out of school. And a lot of those programs go away when you’re 18— but you don’t go away.” Related Links And Stories-- * * Child Poverty High In Rural America * Obama, Mccain Differ On Oil, Gas And Energy Policies |
