Why This Indicator Matters
Disaggregates suicide mortality among female teens to reveal disparities that may be obscured by an overall youth suicide rate. Nevada's rate of 7.9 per 100,000 is 58% higher than the national rate of 5.0 per 100,000 (United Health Foundation, 2026), highlighting the need for targeted prevention research and strategies.
