Age-Adjusted Death Rate due to Suicide

County: Ottawa

Measurement Period: 2020-2022

Filter: none (all Counties)

This indicator shows the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 population due to suicide.

Why is this important?

Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States, presenting a major, preventable public health problem. More than 33,000 people kill themselves each year according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but suicide deaths only account for part of the problem. An estimated 25 attempted suicides occur per every suicide death, and those who survive suicide may have serious injuries, in addition to having depression and other mental problems. Other repercussions of suicide include the combined medical and lost work costs on the community, totaling to over $30 billion for all suicides in a year, and the emotional toll on family and friends. Men are about four times more likely than women to die of suicide, but three times more women than men report attempting suicide. Suicide occurs at a disproportionately higher rate among adults 75 years and older.

This is a Healthy People 2030 Leading Health Indicator.

The Healthy People 2030 national health target is to reduce the suicide rate to 12.8 deaths per 100,000 population.
