What Works
[Healthy People 2030, CDC 6|18] Suicide is a Healthy People 2030 Leading Health Indicator.
Suicide is one of the leading causes of death nationwide, particularly among young people. In addition, suicide rates have increased in almost every state over the last 2 decades. Interventions to address behaviors that increase the risk of suicide, like drug and alcohol misuse, may help reduce the suicide rate nationwide.
