Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors
among Adults, from SAMHSA’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH),
also shows that 2.3 million adult Americans made a suicide plan in the past
year and that 1.1 million adults—0.5 percent of all adult Americans—had actually
attempted suicide in the past year.
Among the
adults who had serious thoughts of suicide, most (5.8 million) had not made a
suicide plan or suicide attempt. Approximately 1.4 million adults had serious
thoughts of suicide and made a suicide plan, but had not made a suicide
attempt; 0.2 million had serious thoughts of suicide and made a suicide
attempt, but made no suicide plan.
An estimated 0.9 million had serious thoughts of suicide, made a suicide plan, and actually attempted suicide.
Problem Varies
by Age
According to the report, the risk of suicidal thoughts, planning,
and attempts varies significantly among age groups. Young adults age 18 to 25
were far more likely to have seriously considered suicide in the past year than
those age 26 to 49 (6.7 versus 3.9 percent), and nearly three times more likely
than those age 50 or older (2.3 percent).
These disparities in risk levels among younger and older adults
also were found in suicide planning and suicide attempts.
Substance Use
Substance use disorders also were associated with a higher risk of
seriously considering, planning, or attempting suicide.
People experiencing substance use disorders within the past year
were more than three times as likely to have seriously considered suicide as
those who had not experienced a substance use disorder (11.0 versus 3.0
percent).
Those with past-year substance use disorders were also four times
more likely to have made a suicide plan than those without substance use
disorders (3.4 versus 0.8 percent) and nearly seven times more likely to have
attempted suicide (2.0 versus 0.3 percent).
Medical
Attention
Of the adults who attempted suicide in the past year, 62.3 percent
(678,000 people) received medical attention for their suicide attempts, and
46.0 percent (500,000) stayed overnight or longer in a hospital for their
suicide attempts.
This study is the first to present findings based on new NSDUH
suicide questions introduced in 2008 and asked of all adult respondents age 18
or older.
