Suicide is a leading cause of mortality in the United States, with an ageadjusted rate of 14.1 deaths per 100,000 population in 2021 (1). Older adults tend to have higher rates of suicide, although they represent a low percentage of the total number of suicides (2). Factors that specifically affect older adults can include declines in physical and cognitive functioning, changes in mental health, and other factors often associated with getting older, like bereavement, loneliness, and lack of social connectedness (3-8). This report presents suicide rates for adults age 55 and older by sex and mechanism of suicide.

Nonfatal injuries are major causes of emergency department (ED) visits in the United States (1). The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control estimated that, in 2020, 22.9 million ED visits related to nonfatal injuries occurred (1). Visits for assault (excluding sexual assault) represented 5.8% of these visits (1). This report uses the most recent data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) to present assault-related ED visit (excluding sexual assault) rates by selected demographic and hospital characteristics.

People who have had COVID-19 may continue to have symptoms or develop new symptoms months after being infected with SARS-CoV-2 (1). This can lead to long-term health and economic impacts on those affected and on society (2). This report uses data from the 2022 National Health Interview Survey to describe the percentage of adults who ever had or had Long COVID at the time of interview (currently have Long COVID) by sociodemographic and geographic characteristics. Long COVID was defined as self-reporting the presence of symptoms for at least 3 months after having COVID-19 among those who reported either a positive test or a doctor's diagnosis of COVID-19.

While most individuals who contract COVID-19 feel better within a few weeks, others have new, returning, or ongoing symptoms that they did not have before COVID-19, which is often referred to as Long COVID (1). This report describes the percentage of children ages 0-17 years who ever had Long COVID or had Long COVID at the time of interview (currently have Long COVID) based on parent-reported data from the 2022 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). Long COVID was defined as the presence of symptoms for at least 3 months after having COVID-19 among those who received either a positive test or a doctor's diagnosis of COVID-19.

In 2021, 140 million emergency department (ED) visits occurred in the United States (1). During that year, about 4% of children had two or more ED visits in the past 12 months, and 18% of adults had visited the ED in the past 12 months (2,3). This report presents characteristics of ED visits by age group, sex, race and ethnicity, insurance, and mentions of COVID-19, using data from the 2021 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) (4).

This report presents selected highlights from 2022 final birth data on key demographic, healthcare utilization, and infant health indicators. The number of births, general fertility rates (GFRs) (births per 1,000 females aged 15-44), age-specific birth rates (births per 1,000 women in specified age group), and cesarean delivery and preterm (less than 37 weeks of gestation) birth rates are presented. Results for 2020, 2021, and 2022 are shown for all births to describe changes in birth patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic years (1,2). Cesarean and preterm birth rates are shown for select race and Hispanic-origin groups.
