>In the fall of 2020, she gave a presentation to Alameda County’s Public Health Department showing data that demonstrated an increase in the number of kids who were screening positive for suicidal thoughts in the ER. That sounds interesting, wish it was accessible through the article, as opposed to a third-hand account of said presentation. |

To be fair, the percentage in the following sentence is a cdc.gov link [1] to the requested study. > The number of ER visits in 2021 by adolescent girls for suspected suicide attempts was 51% higher than during the same period in early 2019.
I don't think it would be particularly convincing, or even desirable, to have a county health department presentation when there are now published studies on the subject. It's just not the same level of authority.
