Special report: Pandemic unveils growing suicide crisis for communities of color

The Dallas Morning News is sharing this special report produced by Kaiser Health News (KHN) and the radio program Science Friday. In this audio interview, KHN national correspondent Aneri Pattani and Science Friday’s director of news and radio projects, John Dankosky, discuss Pattani’s reporting, which included interviews with a dozen suicide researchers, data collected from states across the country and a review of decades of research that revealed that suicide is a growing crisis for communities of color — one that plagued them well before the pandemic and has only been exacerbated since. The segment was produced by Kathleen Davis. Find more audio from The Dallas Morning News and a special membership offer for listeners at dallasnews.com/listen.
