Conclusions
![Page 26: 2012 National Center for Health Statistics Conference on ... · group, and state – United States, 2008-2009 2012 National Center for Health Statistics Conference on Health Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050201/5f545c23f90f9a29c315b674/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Conclusions • The findings in this report indicate that substantial
variations exist at the regional and state level in the prevalence of having serious thoughts of suicide, having made plans to attempt suicide, and having attempted suicide in the past year among adults
• These differences exist when examined for overall prevalence, by age and by sex.
• These findings emphasize the importance of surveillance to collect locally relevant data on which to base prevention and control activities.

Study limitations • Data based on self-report • Representative only of civilian, non-
institutionalized population aged 18 years or older
• Low precision of some estimates at the state-level
![Page 28: 2012 National Center for Health Statistics Conference on ... · group, and state – United States, 2008-2009 2012 National Center for Health Statistics Conference on Health Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050201/5f545c23f90f9a29c315b674/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Recommendations • These results can be used by state health departments
and federal agencies to measure progress toward achieving national and state health objectives
• Continued surveillance is needed monitor suicidal thoughts and non-fatal suicidal behavior to design, implement, and evaluate public health policies and programs
• Possible strategies to implement could include a range of strategies such as universal strategies such as means restriction to indicated programs such as cognitive-behavioral therapy for selected populations.
