A MINUTE OF HEALTH WITH CDC
Preventing Suicide in Young People
Suicide Trends Among Youths and Young Adults Aged 10–24 Years — United States, 1990–2004
November 15, 2007

This program is presented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. CDC – safer,
healthier people.

Nobody wants to think that suicide could happen to people they care about. By
learning more about it and talking about it, we may be able to help prevent a
tragedy. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people
between the ages of 10 and 24. CDC researchers investigated recent suicides in
this age group and found a sharp increase. They found the greatest increases
among girls 10 to19 and boys 15 to 19. By recognizing the warning signs for
suicide, you could help save a life. Watch for depression, isolation, and someone
talking about suicide and get help as soon as possible.
