The Hidden Toll: Demographic Changes in Suicide Attempts During the Coronavirus Disease-19 Era
The pandemic was associated with a similar rate of suicide attempts among trauma patients but has led to a shift in demographics. Specifically, increased suicide attempts among Blacks, Hispanics, young adults, and those with mental health disorders. This highlights the pandemic's secondary impact and reinforces the need for targeted preventative measures for these populations during periods of increased stress.
