To inform suicide prevention efforts, CDC analyzed suicide by occupational group for 12,312 suicides in 17 states in 2012 from the NVDRS (National Violent Death Reporting System). The frequency of suicide in different occupational groups was examined, and rates of suicide were calculated by sex and age group for these categories.
