> In 1950, there were 2.7 suicides per 100,000 15- to 19-year-olds. Today, there are 7.5 (though that’s down from a 1990s peak of 13.2). Little typo, looking at the link it's 11.2 not 13.2. Someone knows why this peak? | ||

One factor is definitely underreporting. Several “accidental deaths” in the 1950s were code for suicide. | ||
