Data about Teen Male Suicide in Idaho
 
Teen Males, 15-17 Years Old

Teen males are the first of four special populations identified by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (IDHW) as at special risk for suicide in Idaho. As with the general population, while female teens attempt suicide more often, teen males are approximately six times more likely to succeed at completing suicide.

The data presented below were culled from many sources, including the IDHW Bureau of Vital Statistics, Substance Use and School Climate Survey, Youth Risk Behavior Survey, Idaho State Police Crime Reports and others. In some cases, the teen male data are shown in combination with female and other age group data as produced by the reporting agencies.
