Suicide rate among African-American boys on the rise – study

The suicide rate among young African-American boys has almost doubled since 1993, according to a new study. The rate among white children dropped during the same period.
The research, published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics on Tuesday, followed the suicide rates of children aged five to 11, between 1993 and 2012.
While the overall suicide rate did not change over the years, the rate among black boys rose from 1.78 to 3.47 per million. In contrast, suicides among white boys dropped from 1.96 to 1.31 per million.
“I was shocked, I’ll be honest with you,” said Jeffrey Bridge, an epidemiologist at the Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, who led the research.
