The facts

* Suicide is a leading cause of death among college students. In 2002, Oregon ranked 19th in the nation for youth suicides, ages 10-24 (Centers for Disease Control, 2004).

* In 1997, the CDC reported that 10.3% of college students surveyed considered suicide during the previous 12 months and 6.7% actually made plans to kill themselves.

If we extrapolate this data to the consortium, this would mean that 8,455 consortium students had seriously considered attempting suicide during the past year.
