Key Points Question Are temporal trends in suicidal ideation and attempts among US adolescents different across sex and race/ethnicity from 1991 through 2019? Findings In this cross-sectional study of 183 563 adolescents in the US, a decreasing temporal trend in suicidal ideation changed to an increase, with different turning points for female (2009), White (2009), Hispanic (2007), and Black (2005) adolescents. Male and Black youths had nonsignificant changes in suicidal ideation, but the greatest increase in the prevalence of nonfatal suicide attempts. Meaning The results of this study suggest that sex and racial/ethnic disparities in temporal trends in adolescents with suicidal ideation and attempts call for greater diversification in suicide prevention.
