A mental health crisis is contributing to American children and youth dying from preventable causes, and we can and should take action to reverse the trend.

Children whose parents have lower levels of education have a significantly higher risk of dying young, according to a new study by researchers at UNLV.

A new study reveals substantially higher risks of death between ages 1-24 for children living in families with lower levels of parental education, lower levels of family income, and/or for those living in a single parent family -- all independent of one another.
