04/05/2008: "Young Black Men Are At Higher Risk Of Suicide than Whites"

A study examining suicide rates and pre-suicide clinical symptoms in people from different ethnic groups, has found that rates of suicide vary between ethnic groups with young black men aged 13 to 24 at highest risk.

The research, published April 1, 2008 in the medical journal Psychiatric Services, suggests that symptoms traditionally associated with suicide are less common among some ethnic groups, and cannot be relied upon for predicting suicide.

[ What struck me is that the report refuses to state any stats showing how much more at risk young black men are. Is that a stupid oversight or is it censorship? ]
