Methods of suicide among persons aged 10-19 years--United States, 1992-2001.

The Effect of Nondiscretionary Concealed Weapon Carrying Laws on Homicide.

[Billthedrill]

Beginning in 1997, among persons aged 10-14 years, suffocation surpassed firearms as the most common suicide method. The decline in firearm suicides combined with the increase in suicides by suffocation suggests that changes have occurred in suicidal behavior among youths during the preceding decade.

Great catch. I am surprised, actually. Horrible topic. Would "suffocation" including hanging oneself?
