自杀是美国和世界范围内的主要原因之一。具有毁灭性的是，它对青少年的影响尤为严重，使其成为导致寿命缩短的主要原因。尽管美国联邦政府优先考虑其他死因的研究和预防，导致其死亡率急剧下降（例如癌症、心脏病、艾滋病毒/艾滋病），但自杀却并非如此。用于自杀预防研究的资金不到其他主要死因的资金的三分之一，因此美国现在的自杀率几乎与 100 年前相同。这种情况令人震惊，需要立即采取行动。
Suicide is among the leading causes of death in the US and worldwide. Devastatingly, it disproportionately affects youth, making it a leading contributor to years of life lost as well. Whereas the US federal government has prioritized the study and prevention of other causes of death, causing mortality rates from them to drop precipitously (e.g., cancer, heart disease, HIV/AIDS), this is not true of suicide. Funding for suicide prevention research is less than one-third of that allocated to other leading causes of death, and as a result the US suicide rate now is virtually identical to what it was 100 years ago. This situation is alarming and requires immediate action.
