Suicide Risk Factors
Captions available
The idea
Suicide has no single cause; the CDC groups its risk factors as individual, relationship, community and societal.
In practice
Higher risk among veterans, American Indian and Alaska Native people, rural residents, men, and sexual and gender minorities.
Where people slip
Grouping risk by level mirrors Bronfenbrenner's systems; anyone affected can call or text nine eight eight, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
