Abstract:
Suicide is among the top five leading causes of death among North Carolinians aged five through forty-four. Between 1997 and 2001, suicides claimed 4,563 state residents. Males had a higher rate of suicide than females, and whites had higher rates than minorities. Firearms were used in approximately two-thirds of the suicides.
