Youth suicide appears to be accelerating, particularly in males and teenage females, according to an analysis of CDC data.
In 2000, the suicide rate for teens in the age 15-19 age range was eight per 100,000, which remained stable through 2007 before increasing by an annual percentage change of 3.1 percent through 2014. During 2014-2017, however, suicides in this age group increased annually by 10 percent, reported Oren Miron, MA, of Harvard Medical School in Boston, and colleagues.

Imagine, if you will, a nurse who is assigned to take care of 50 patients on a medical floor — by herself. Clearly, this is an impossible task. There are just too many patients for one nurse to adequately monitor. But this nurse gamely does her best. Now let's say that there is a bad outcome and an investigation. Even if the understaffing problem is recognized, it would be easy — and tempting — to scapegoat the nurse, especially if there was no intention of fixing the staffing problem. ("We can't afford to hire more nurses!") Instead, the scapegoated nurse would be replaced by a new nurse, who, once again, would be expected to care for 50 patients.

About 16 percent of older adults are victims of some form of mistreatment, and the number of reported cases of elder abuse is steadily increasing. Because of poor record-keeping, however, those of us who study elder abuse don't know if the trend reflects an actual increase, an increase because of growing numbers of older adults, or only an increase in reporting due to greater awareness.

On a clear day, from the middle of a well-trafficked stretch of reinforced concrete that spans the Snoqualmie River in Washington state, you can make out the hulking, ice-covered flanks of Mount Rainier. Locals bring their dogs to the so-called High Bridge to swim on their lunch breaks; high school kids in oversized hoodies pick their way through the raspberry thickets looking for a shady spot to light up. There are no memorials, no plastic flowers, no signs to mark the occasion when, nearly 32 years ago, somebody dumped the body of a young man at the base of this bridge, half-wrapped in a powder-blue blanket, plastic cords still cutting into his neck, and a pack of Camel Lights shoved down his throat.
