To the Editor: Following a decade of steady decline, the suicide rate among US youth younger than 20 years increased by 18% from 2003 to 2004, the largest single-year change in the pediatric suicide rate over the past 15 years.1 Federal health officials have urged caution in interpreting this 1-year apparent spike in youth suicide until data from additional years are available for comparison.1 We examined available national fatal injury data to assess whether the increase in suicide rates among US youth persisted from 2004 to 2005, the latest year for which data are available.
