Suicide rates in the US have traditionally been higher among white than black individuals across all age groups. However, suicide rates increased from 1993 to 1997 and 2008 to 2012 among black children aged 5 to 11 years (from 1.36 to 2.54 per million) and decreased among white children of the same age (from 1.14 to 0.77 per million). The existing literature does not adequately describe the extent of age-related racial disparities in youth suicide, and understanding racial differences is critical to developing targeted prevention efforts. Therefore, the authors compared age-specific suicide rates between black and white youths from 2001 through 2015.
