Suicides and homicides among young Americans jumped early in the pandemic, study says The homicide rate for older U.S. teenagers rose to its highest point in nearly 25 years during the COVID-19 pandemic. And the suicide rate for adults in their early 20s was the worst in more than 50 years. That's according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report released Thursday. Experts cited several possible reasons for the increases, including higher rates of depression, limited availability of mental health services and the number of guns in U.S. homes. Suicide and homicide are the No. 2 and 3 causes of death for 10- to 24-year-olds.

US births in 2022 didn’t return to pre-pandemic levels--data

Thu, 2023-06-01 15:02 — mike kraft
US births in 2022 didn't return to pre-pandemic levels U.S. births were flat last year, as the nation continues to see fewer babies born than it did before the pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday released provisional birth data for last year. A little under 3.7 million babies were born in the U.S. last year, about 3,000 fewer than the year before. Births to moms 35 and older continued to rise, with the highest rates in that age group since the 1960s. But those gains were offset by record-low birth rates to moms in their teens and early 20s.
