“A Durham County survey reported that Latino high school students are twice as likely to attempt suicide as their black and white peers, but no similar trends have been reported in the Orange County and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City school systems.

The study, which anonymously polled 392 Durham County high school students, found that 32 percent of the Latino students who responded had attempted suicide in the last year, while 15 percent of black and white students attempted suicide in the same time period.”*
