This indicator, or population measure, is part of our Healthy Vermonters 2030 data set. Read more about how this data helps us understand and improve the well-being of people in Vermont on the Healthy Vermonters 2030 webpage.
Because this data is meant to show how the health of our state changes during the decade from 2020-2030, some indicators may have very few data points for now. Keep checking back to see the progress our public health system and partners are making.
Looking for more data?
- Look at previous data on suicide deaths among older adults from our previous State Health Improvement Plan Scorecard.
- See the related national Healthy People 2030 objective for reducing suicide deaths (note this is for all people).
Reducing the suicide rate is a Healthy People 2030 Leading Health Indicator. It is a high priority objective to drive action toward improving overall health and well-being.
