This report reviews State actions to implement recommendations from the 2024 National Suicide Prevention Guidelines. State-by-State information is available in the State Profiles restricted access website. 

Forty-five states have suicide prevention initiatives directed at specific populations with statistically elevated risks of suicide. As Figure 1 shows, there are programs specifically for youth (42 states), older adults (28), and veterans (23). In a small number of states, there are programs serving individuals living in rural and remote areas, including agricultural workers (9); first responders (7); Native Americans (6); and construction or oil and gas workers (5).
