Specifically, it's percent of adults who have attempted, not completed. I don't think anyone in this thread is suggesting it's the latter, but that was my first thought when I saw the statistic so I thonk it's an important thing to note.

Thank you, I agree that it's an important distinction to make. Having only been able to read the abstract of the linked article, do you perhaps have any information on the number of completed attempts compared to unsuccessful attempts?

I hope it goes without saying that even a single attempt is too many, and any completed attempts are devastating tragedies that don't reflect kindly on our current society.
