Study: Arizona Men Three Times More Likely To Die From Suicide Than Women

Men in Arizona are three times as likely to commit suicide than women.

That’s according to a new report from the joint efforts of the ASU Center for Violence Prevention and Community Safety and the Arizona Violent Death Reporting System.

The researchers gathered the data from death certificates, law enforcement and medical examiners.

To tell us more about it, Charles Katz, director of the Center for Violence Prevention and Community Safety at ASU, joined The Show.
