At a 2004 US Senate Committee hearing on Suicide Prevention and Youth, Dr. Cheryl A. King, Psychology PhD, testified that the rates of suicide double for American Indian or Alaskan Native teens, particularly male adolescents. American Indian/Alaska Native adolescents are more than twice as likely to commit suicide as any other racial/ethnic group. With 52.9 deaths per 100,000, adolescent American Indian/Alaska Native males are at four times the risk for suicide than are males of any other racial/ethnic group." At the hearing, Dr. King advocated the increase of accessible prevention strategies. Her call to arms has been partially answered, with increased funding to address mental health concerns amongst Native American and Alaskan Youth.
