Young Adult Suicide & Student Status: Findings from a Pilot for the National Violent Death Reporting System

By Harvard Injury Control Research Center and Suicide Prevention Resource Center

This fact sheet created in partnership with the Harvard Injury Control Research Center contains analyzed data from NVISS, a precursor to the CDC's National Violent Death Reporting System, that determines how many of the 18-24 year-old suicide decedents were and were not students at a college or other post secondary education program. The fact sheet also compares characteristics of non-student and student suicides to identify opportunities for prevention in both groups.
