There is now a substantial literature on risk factors for suicide across the life course. Therefore, it is essential to extend this knowledge by considering more fully which age- and gender-specific groups bear the greatest public health burden owing to suicide and its antecedents. With this in mind, suicide mortality rates alone may not sufficiently inform U.S. policy makers who must distribute scarce suicide prevention resources. We compared age- and gender-specific mortality rates, age- and gender-specific estimates of years of potential life lost, and age- and gender-specific present value of lost earnings that individuals would have contributed to society had they lived to their full life expectancies. Men in the middle years of life contribute disproportionately to the public health burden because of completed suicide. The substantial burden evident in this group has not translated into a public health priority
