All racial/ethnic groups surveyed showed an increase in suicidal ideation from May to July in 2020. For most groups, the 2020 values are similar or higher than the 2019 average, coinciding with the COVID-19 outbreak. This statistic shows the percentage of U.S. respondents who reported "thoughts that you would be better off dead, or of hurting yourself" more than half of the days or nearly every day in 2019 in comparison to the months of May, June and July in 2020, by race/ethnicity.
