Abstract
The suicide rate among adolescents and young adults is on the rise once again, with firearm suicides accounting for more than two-thirds of suicides among North Carolinians aged 15–24. Reversing this trend will require a multifaceted strategy involving providers, gun owners, and sound policy decisions.
