  • Description:
    The number of suicides in 2021 (48,183) was nearly 5% higher than in 2020 (45,979). This translates to 14.1 suicides per 100,000 in 2021 as compared to 13.5 suicides per 100,000 in 2020. Suicides are part of a much larger problem. In 2021, 12.3 million adults aged 18 or older had serious thoughts of suicide, 3.5 million made suicide plans, and 1.7 million attempted suicide. Among high school youth, 22% seriously considered attempting suicide.

    Suicide is preventable. Preventing suicide requires a comprehensive public health approach that is data driven; addresses multiple risk and protective factors at the individual, relationship, community, and societal levels; and relies on multisectoral partnerships working across multiple settings. It is important to identify factors that are often outside of individual control but can have great impact on suicide prevention efforts.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released the Suicide Prevention Resource for Action | Suicide | CDC in 2022, hereafter referred to as “the Prevention Resource.” This report is a collection of interventions that describes the best available evidence to guide and inform suicide prevention decision-making in states and communities. It includes seven core strategies to achieve and sustain reductions in suicide focused on risk and protective factors across the individual, relationship, community, and societal levels.
