Teen Suicide Rate 15-19 (Per 100,00) (5-Year Average) (2005-2009)

Ten years of data were combined to minimize the unreliability of measurement due to the small number of actual events. The reported values are a rolling average across ten years. For example, we report the average value across the years 1995 through 2004.

Virgene Hanna, Project Director

Kids Count Alaska operates out of the Institute of Social & Economic Research at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Alaska's climate, size and vast roadless expanses make for a unique state. It is because of these conditions we strive to develop indicators most relevant to Alaska.
