The Effect of Drug Abuse on Suicide Rates Among Black Youth in the District of Columbia
Mitchell L E
While the rate of black suicide is less than that of whites the age-rate pattern is quite different, with black suicides disproportionately more prevalent among young people. Mitchell sees the use of PCP as a significant factor in the high incidence of drug-related deaths and urges youth workers & parents to train young people away from drug use. (NBB)
