ChildTrends Report: Teen deaths by homiside, suicide, and firearms

Apropos of my recent posts reflecting about suicide, guns and homicide, colleague Bob Hawkes sent me a link to this report: Teen Homicide, Suicide, and Firearm Deaths, compiled by the Child Trends Databank. There are some nice figures in the report, including one nicely demonstrating recent declines in teen suicide rates (for related post see Unintended Consequences of antidepressant black box warning re: Kelly Posner’s (and others’) argument that these gains are threatened) . You can click on the figures from the linked page or see all together in the .pdf, which is linked to at the top of the page.
