- Abstract
This article presents news from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In this report, the CDC examines the suicide trends among teenagers and young adults in the U.S. from 1990-2004. The study found that the combined suicide rate for people aged 10-24 years went down overall but during 2003-2004 the rate increased. Suicide rates for females aged 10-14 and 15-19 years and males aged 15-19 went up. The number of deaths from hanging or suffocation and poisoning increased dramatically over the one year.
