2007 Following a decline of more than 28 percent,
the suicide rate for 10- to-24-year-olds increased by
8 percent, the largest single-year rise in 15 years,
according to a report just released in the Centers

An increase in the suicide rates for three
gender-age groups accounts for the increase
in the overall suicide rate, the report said.
Rates rose for 10- to-14-year-old females, 15
-to-19-year-old females and 15- to-19-year-old
males from 2003 to 2004.

For 10- to-14-year-old females, the rate
increased from 0.54 per 100,000 in 2003 to 0.95 per
100,000 in 2004

For 15-to-19 year-old females the rate
increased from 2.66 to 3.52 per 100,000

For 15-to-19 year-old males, the rate
increased from 11.61 to 12.65 per 100,000
