Pediatricians and pediatric heath care providers have a role to play in reducing the risk of suicide among adolescents and young adults. In 2016, suicide was the second leading cause of death among both 10-14 years old (436) and 15-24 years old (5,723) according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. The AAP provides guidance and resources for pediatricians and pediatric health care providers to help identify youth at risk for suicide.
