Health Inequity among Rural Minorities #2

Data from @SAMHSA has shown that American Indian and Alaskan Native communities have strikingly higher suicide rates compared to the overall U.S. populations. The data in the report underscores the vulnerability of 15-24 year old AI/AN males, whose suicide rate is more than three and a half times the suicide rate for males of all races in that age group. While the adjusted suicide rate for AI/AN females in that age group was lower than males, it was still nearly six times the rate for females of all races.
