Study shows ‘troubling’ rise in Iowa’s suicide rate, deaths from drugs/alcohol
A new report finds deaths in Iowa from alcohol, drugs and suicide have risen sharply in recent years and the outlook will likely continue to worsen.
John Auerbach, president and CEO of Trust for America’s Health, says the latest figures for Iowa are “very troubling” and the pandemic is only making matters worse.
“Alcohol-related deaths up 7% in just one year, drug-related deaths up 20% in just one year, and suicides are up 8%,” Auerbach says. “Those percentages were a lot higher than the average for the rest of the country so it’s an indication that more attention is necessary within the state.”
