Background


The CDC groups a number of "cause" of death into large categories for simplification of gathering and reporting mortality data. These data are used every year in numerous reports by Federal, State, City and not-for-profits, local agencies, and businesses . However, it hides whqt is really going on with Oregonian's physial and mental health and the systems progress. These data, presented in that manner, hide the seriousness of death by suiide, particularly for our youth under 25 and all MAABs though 54. This distration is not intentional and is not to fault the peoples in Oregon developing corrective plans to reach their goal of Zero Suicides. Acknowledging the truth, however, does enourage and support the legislature to inest more heavily in Behavioral health, to bring our mortality data more in liine with the size of our county (27th) distractio from the reality tht is happening within those giant categories.
