Gates
from page CS
Jimmy Carter, decried the
high cost of managing
HIV/AIDS, especially in
developing countries such as
Kenya.
According to Health Min
istry statistics, some 700
Kenyans die daily from
AIDS-related complications,
while more than half of pub
lic hospital beds are occupied
by patients suffering from
related ailments.
The younger Gates has
been campaigning for more
spending by "developed
nations toward tackling the
pandemic in the developing
world, especially Africa.
At the recent World Eco
nomic Forum, the software
billionaire was quoted as urg
ing the United States to
increase its spending on
health programs in develop
ing countries.
Suicide
from pone C3
The study, which uses data
I collected by the Centers for
' Disease Control and Preven
tion. found that suicide by
gun among 15- to 19-year-old
black males rose from 3.6 per
100.000 in 1979 to a peak of
: 13.9 per 100,000 in 1994. The
I rate for 1997, the most recent
* year studied, was down to 8.4
? per 100.000.
Guns were used in 54 per
cent of all black suicides in
that age group in 1979 and in
74 percent by 1997.
For whites in the same age
group, the gun-related suicide
? rate was 9.7 per 100.000 in
1979, peaked at 13.6 per
100.000 in 1991 and dropped
to 10.4 per 100,000 in 1997.
Guns were used in 68 percent
of all 1979 suicides in the age
group and in 65 percent in
1997.
The study appears this
month in Psychiatric Ser
vices. a journal published by
the American Psychiatric
Association. The figures
show similar but less dramat
ic rates of increase among 20
to 24-year-old black men.
The study did not look at
causes for the suicide rates.
But co-author Sean Joe. an
assistant professor of social
work at the University of
Pennsylvania, speculated that
young blacks feel more pres
sure to succeed than older
generations, who dould point
to segregation or other obsta
cles.
"There's a greater expec
tation within the African
American community that
younger African Americans
should be able to do more
with the opportunities in front
of them." Joe said.
Donna Holland Barnes
lost her 20-year-old son.
Marc, to suicide when he
drove his vehicle into a river
in 1990. She later founded the
National Organization of Peo
ple of Color Against Suicide.
"The problem with
firearms is the impulsivity,"
said Barnes, a sociology pro
fessor at Southwest Texas
State University.
"Not a lot of thought goes
into it," Barnes said.
