In the United States, youth (15-24 years) suicide rates increased 191% between 1950 and 1986. This paper presents data regarding suicidal ideation and attempts, suicide-related hospitalizations, and completed suicides among Connecticut youth, comparing them with data from other states and the United States. Girls have higher rates of attempts and hospitalization, boys of completed suicide. Firearms are the suicidal method of choice for both sexes. Nonmetropolitan areas had higher rates than metropolitan. Reported suicidal ideation among students ranged from 10% to as high as 66%, while attempts range from 3% to 15%. The authors stress that caution is necessary when comparing rates, pointing to the need for standardized data collection and analysis. Reported rates of suicidal behavior are lower among Connecticut youth compared to their counterparts in other states, but suicide is increasing among young males in Connecticut and remains a major issue for health care providers.
