National Report Spotlights Hawaii’s Need For Suicide Prevention … Hawaii had more survey participants say they had been thinking about suicide during the pandemic than any other state.
A new national analysis of data collected from people seeking help with their mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic ranks Hawaii as having the highest percentage of survey participants who reported thinking about or planning suicide.
Hawaii also had the fifth-highest proportion who reported thinking about suicide or self-harm at least four days a week, according to a report by Mental Health America.
The findings are based on data collected from nearly three-quarters of a million people who volunteered to take an online depression screening aimed at discovering mental health hotspots across the country.
