Men's Health Week: Men and Suicide in the U.S.

In this episode of STUMP, I talk about the trends and sex gap in death by suicide in the U.S. This is just talking the numbers, so it’s fairly dispassionate, looking at the trend over the decades and by age groups. If you don’t want to hear the episode, you may want to look at the post on Substack (website or app), where I have posted graphs and tables, and you can download the spreadsheet with the numbers behind these.Episode Notes and Links988 LifelineGraphsTablesSpreadsheetSelected Prior Posts* Jan 2025: 2023 U.S. Top Causes of Death by Sex and Age Group, Finalized* Nov 2023: Movember 2023: Men's Trends with Suicide by Age* Sep 2022: World Suicide Prevention Day: U.S. Suicide Trend Update through 2021* Nov 2024: Movember 2024: Veterans and Suicide* Nov 2022: Podcast — Movember 2022: Men and Suicide* May 2022: Video: U.S. Mortality Trends 2020-2022 part 8: External causes of death* Nov 2021: Movember Fundraising: Men and Suicide* May 2017: Literal Suicide and Media* July 2017: Mortality Monday: Suicide -- the Absolute Numbers* July 2017: Mortality Monday: Suicide -- Rates* Nov 2022: Read the News with Meep: On Suicide Trends by Race (and Sex) in 2021 (and Earlier)STUMP - Meep on public finance, pensions, mortality and more is a reader-supported publication.
