Age-adjusted Suicide Mortality Rate per 100,000 population

State: Kansas
Measurement Period: 2020-2022
This indicator shows the total age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 population due to suicide.

Why is this important?

Suicide results in the tragic loss of human life as well as agonizing grief, fear, and confusion in families and communities. Its impact is not limited to an individual person or family, but extends across generations and throughout communities. The breadth of the problem and the complexity of its risk factors make suicide prevention well suited to a community-based public health approach that engages multiple systems and reaches all citizens. Over 500 Kansas residents die from suicide annually.
