Suicide rates among young people aged 15 to 25 in England appear to rise during the summer exam period, with a peak in the 23rd fortnight of the academic year, according to new ONS data from 2011/12 to 2021/22.
Rates reached 0.78 per 100,000, higher than the low of 0.56 in late November/early December.
Male rates peaked in early July, female rates in early May.
The study analyzed 4,315 deaths, with males significantly more affected.
The ONS cautioned against firm conclusions due to low numbers and wide confidence intervals.
