H. Res. 212
In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
October 10, 1998.
Whereas suicide, the ninth leading cause of all deaths in the
United States and the third such cause for young persons
ages 15 through 24, claims over 31,000 lives annually,
more than homicide;
Whereas suicide attempts, estimated to exceed 750,000 annu-
ally, adversely impact the lives of millions of family mem-
bers;
Whereas suicide completions annually cause over 200,000
family members to grieve over and mourn a tragic suicide
death for the first time, thus creating a population of
over 4,000,000 such mourners in the United States;
Whereas the suicide completion rate per 100,000 persons has
remained relatively stable over the past 40 years for the
general population, and that rate has nearly tripled for
young persons;
Whereas the suicide rate is rising among African American
young men;
Whereas the suicide completion rate is highest for adults over
65;
Whereas the stigma associated with mental illness works
against suicide prevention by keeping persons at risk of
completing suicide from seeking lifesaving help;
