This indicator shows the average annual age-adjusted hospitalization rate due to suicide or intentional self-inflicted injury per 10,000 population aged 10-17 years. Admissions are included if a primary or additional diagnosis code indicates suicide or intentional self-inflicted injury.
Why is this important?
Suicide among adolescents is a serious public health issue in the United States. It is a leading cause of death for youth; approximately 4,600 lives are lost each year due to suicide. However, many more adolescents survive suicide attempts than actually die. Suffocation and poisoning are two of the most common forms of intentional, self-inflicted injury that lead to hospitalizations. Risk factors include depression, physical/mental illness, alcohol/substance abuse, incarceration, and loss or other stressful life events. Gender differences are apparent: although females are more likely to report attempting suicide than males, males are more likely to actually commit suicide than females. Studies show that addressing psychiatric illness through early recognition, intervention, and treatment is an effective way to combat suicidal behavior.
