In 2021, Black youths ages 10 to 19 were 20 times more likely to die by homicide than white youths and six times more likely than Hispanic youths.
“This is not a surprise,” he said. “Based on my research in this field for over 20 years, I’ve noticed significant changes in pediatric mortality rates, particularly caused by suicide, violence and opioid abuses in the past five to 10 years.” “We don’t do enough research on this topic,” Woolf said. “We need to fund research in proportion to the death toll.”
