There weren't any big surprises for me, but it is rather interesting to examine this over such a long period, and may be informative to the other coalition members. The four charts below show the year-by-year trend over the past two decades for completed and attempted suicides. These data show that attempts are relatively flat despite a population increase of over 60,000, while completed suicides and trending up.
The group is focusing on young people in the age range of 10 through 24. As a result, I have broken out charts specifically for that age group in addition to the overall data. I'll publish a few more next week, so this will be a series of about four posts. If you click on each graph, you will get a larger version that is easier to read.

I just noticed that after lollygagging around through November and December without much to say, I've actually posted five times this week. I need to pace myself!
Keep um coming Director. It makes my coffee much better in the morning.
Gun Nut
I was worried the recent lack of posting may mean the end of the blog. Glad to see it isn't so.
2013 and 2014 seemed to be a bad time for the 10 to 24 year olds.
Could you add a chart for months of the year over the 20 year period, and how about time of day too.
12:33,
I will nclude month-of-year next week. I won't be able, though, to produce a time of day chart, because in most cases the time is not known--rather, it is a range of hours or even days.
