Durham’s Latino students at higher suicide risk, study says – North Carolina

Tagged: , , ,

“After a Durham County study found that Latino students are twice as likely to attempt suicide as black and white students, local school officials say they haven’t noticed such a trend in the Orange County area.

The study anonymously polled 392 high school students in Durham County and found that 32 percent of Latino students responding had attempted suicide in the past year.

Black and white students reported a 15 percent rate of suicide attempts, the survey found.”*
