Suicide Rates Among Young Americans on the Rise, Especially Girls
Suicide rates among young people in the United States have been on the rise for almost 10 years, with the sharpest increase found among girls. That information comes from a new study published in JAMA Network Open.
The study found that suicides among girls aged 10 to 14 increased by about 13 percent each year between 2007 and 2016. Suicides among boys in the same age group rose by 7 percent per year.
Donna Ruch is a researcher at Nationwide Children's Hospital in the state of Ohio. She was the report's lead writer. She said the research shows a "significant" increase in younger female rates of suicide.
Ruch said she believes the bigger increase in deaths among girls is related to changes in the methods girls choose to try to kill themselves.
"Now they are using more lethal means," she said. "And that really concerns us."
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people aged 10 to 19 in the United States.
To take a closer look at suicide trends among the young, Ruch and her team examined nationwide data on suicides among people aged 10 to 19 from 1975 to 2016.
The researchers identified 85,051 deaths among U.S. youth between those years. About 80 percent of them were boys.
Rates of suicide in children aged 10 to 14 went down between 1993 and 2007. After that, they began to rise again, by 12.7 percent per year among girls and by 7.1 percent among boys.
Similar trends were seen among people aged 15 to 19, with a decline until 2007, then yearly increases of 7.9 percent among girls and 3.5 percent among boys.
Ruch and her team cannot explain the increases. But she said finding a reason is "an important next step."
For now, she advises parents to know the warning signs that a child might be in danger: "Is the child making suicidal statements? Are they unhappy for longer periods of time? Are they withdrawing from friends and school activities?"
If they are, Ruch said, "that's when you should start to consider taking your child to a mental health professional."
Suicide expert Ian Rockett suggests that the numbers in the study actually underreport the number of girls who kill themselves.
"We know that females are more inclined to use drug intoxication as a method," said Rockett, a professor at West Virginia University in Morgantown and the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York.
"That's less likely to be picked up as a suicide," Rockett noted.
Rockett believes that media may play a role in the rising rates of suicide among young people in general. He points to a soon-to-be-published paper he helped write that links the Netflix television series "13 Reasons Why" with increased suicide rates among both boys and girls.
"The association we found is actually stronger in females," he said. "And that should be a cause for concern related to exposure to mass media."

为了深入研究年轻人的自杀趋势,鲁奇和团队研究了1975年到2016年全国10到19岁人群的自杀数据h8,f0(3[]UZ)bd_Z[
研究人员发现,在此期间有85051名美国年轻人死亡,其中约80%为男性C-HM,6WUVm#*y

15至19岁的群体也出现了相似趋势,直到2007年自杀率才有所下降,之后女孩自杀率每年上升7.9%,男孩上升3.5%=#ebFGgHmSO
鲁奇和她的团队无法解释这一增长457KN|bp*96Cv#.1^jM。但是她表示,找到原因是“非常重要的下一步iz8dPB=,AQ.HDIb。”
目前,她建议家长要了解孩子可能处于危险中的警告信号:“孩子是否有过自杀言论?她们是否长期郁郁寡欢?她们是否在逃避朋友和学校活动n5Wf~MBmV!6G6IPI%。”
鲁奇表示,如果出现以上情况,“你应该考虑带孩子去看心理健康专业人士Km14Mu,-a@。”
