Graphic of the week: Changes in mental health challenges among Ohio high school students

In February, HPIO released a new Data Snapshot detailing trends in suicide deaths in Ohio.

Among the data highlighted in the snapshot is the change in mental health challenges among Ohio high school students. As illustrated above, more Ohio high school students reported mental health challenges in 2021 compared to 2019, but the increase among female students was much higher than among male students.
 
The data snapshot also includes a list of resources to improve suicide prevention in Ohio.
