Young adult AI/ANs aged 20-29 had the highest rates of accidental drowning, with another smaller peakoccurring among those ages 40-49 (Figure 18). AI/AN children under age ten were also at risk, with rates morethan 60% higher than whites among children in this age range. Due to small numbers, however, these agespecificrates are unstable <strong>and</strong> should be interpreted with caution.Age‐specific rate per 100,000654321‐Figure 18.

Intentional Injuries: SuicideSuicides accounted for about one-fifth of all AI/AN injury deathsin the region. Idaho had the highest rates of AI/AN suicide at 27per 100,000 while Oregon had the lowest at 16 per 100,000 (Figure20). AI/AN rates were 60-70% higher than rates for whites in bothIdaho <strong>and</strong> Washington, but in Oregon there was little differencebetween the races.Figure 20.
