Why This Indicator Matters
Disaggregates suicide mortality among male teens to reveal disparities that may be obscured by an overall youth suicide rate. Nevada's rate of 19.5 per 100,000 is 28% higher than the national rate of 15.2 per 100,000 (United Health Foundation, 2026), highlighting a potential need for targeted youth suicide prevention research.
