Commitment to Action: Preventing Teen Suicide

Teen suicide has become an epidemic across the United States, suicide second only to

accidents as the leading cause of death among individuals ages 15 to 19 (Murphy, Xu,

Kochanek, Curtin, & Arias, 2017). The rate of suicidal ideation, planning, and attempt has risen

in each of the last nine years for this age group (“Trends”, 2017). The CDC estimates, via the

youth risk behavior survey, that 17.7% of American high school students seriously consider

suicide in a given year, 14.6% concocting plans to commit suicide, and 8.6% attempting suicide

in a given year (“United States 2015 Results”, 2017). For students in the Cleveland Metropolitan

School District, these numbers are even more striking, 20.7% having attempted suicide in the

past 12 months as of 2015 (“Cleveland, OH 2015 Results”, 2017). For teens aged 15-19, suicide

is more prevalent than in the adult population by a factor of 3.6, 48.3 of every 100,000

individuals in this age group committing suicide in a given year (American Foundation for

Suicide Prevention, 2017). With this public health crisis sweeping across the United States, and

especially in Northeast Ohio, more effective interventions are necessary. The best medium

through which improvements can be pursued is the education system, where individuals in the

affected age groups are most accessible and where comprehensive suicide prevention initiatives

can be implemented.

Nursing Role Function

Nurses on legislative staffs are most apt to advocate for education-driven solutions to the

teen suicide epidemic because legislators can enact laws that simultaneously impact multiple

school districts at the same time. If grant-matching programs and hiring mandates are necessary

for schools to provide adequate access to mental health treatment, legislators can bring those

solutions into practice by instituting regulations on government agencies and school districts to
