Suicide and Self-Inflicted Injuries
- Number
of Self-Inflicted Injuries: Across the Bay Area,
463 children and youth ages 5-20 were hospitalized for self-inflicted
injuries in 2005, the lowest number in the period 1993-2005.
Youth ages 16-20 consistently account for the greatest number
of self-inflicted injury hospitalizations.
- Rate
of Self-Inflicted Injuries: Although the rate of
self-inflicted injuries per 100,000 youth ages 5-20 has been
higher in many Bay Area counties than in the state as a whole
in recent years, five of the six counties had lower rates in
2005 than California’s rate of 41.5.
