In 2011, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), identified suicide as the second leading cause of death among 12–18 year olds.4 National data from the 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System reported that 8.0% of American youth had at least one suicide attempt within the twelve months preceding the survey; comparatively, 11.8% of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) youth and 9.5% of Asian American (AA) youth had at least one suicide attempt. When stratified by sex, females showed a higher rate of suicide attempts compared with males. However, among males, Asians were the most likely to attempt suicide compared to other groups. A similar pattern was seen for feeling sad or helpless almost every day for two or more weeks in a row.
