Across the board, suicide rates among young Americans have risen; from 2007 to 2018, suicide rates for Americans ages 10 to 24 rose by 57%, and the increase was particularly significant among young girls, contributing to a narrowing of the persistent suicide gender gap. Rates plateaued from 2018 to 2019—the most recent year with available federal data—but they stood far higher than those of decades past. A multinational study published in the Lancet Psychiatry in April found that U.S. suicide rates actually decreased somewhat during the early months of the pandemic, compared to the year before it—but given spiking anxiety and depression rates during the pandemic, which studies suggest took a particularly harsh toll on young people, there’s good reason for continuing concern. Girls of color are increasingly accounting for this trend. According to one 2019 Pediatrics study, the number of white children attempting suicide in the U.S. decreased from 1991 to 2017, while the number of Black children attempting suicide went up. “Black youths are two times more likely to die by suicide compared to their white counterparts,” says Arielle Sheftall. Now, she says, “we’re trying to figure this out.” There’s rarely a single thing that drives someone to attempt suicide, and similarly there are many factors—from bullying to stigma to childhood trauma and racism—but no one cause that could help to explain the increase in suicides among Black youth.

Consumption is in the very nature of living. To live is to consume. But it becomes excessive when it extends beyond what is needed. Our Earth produces enough resources to meet all of our needs, but it does not produce enough resources to meet all of our wants. And whether you consider yourself an environmentalist or not, it is difficult to argue with the fact that consuming more resources than the earth can replace is not a healthy trend, especially when it is completely unnecessary.

The text that follows describes one of the emerging trends affecting medical practice, mainly influenced by the Covid-19 pandemic. Read it and mark the alternative which contains the CORRECT title for it.
“When medical professionals say ‘patient-centric care,’ we're really going to have to mean it,” said Richard E. Anderson, MD, FACP, chairman and CEO of The Doctors Company and TDC Group in California. “We're going to have to mean it in the kind of customer-service-forward way practiced by corporations like Amazon or Nordstrom or FedEx.”
What will that customer service look like? Anderson explained: “We need to improve the staggeringly expensive hospital experience. We need to stop requiring outpatients to see multiple doctors, labs and imaging centers in different locations at different times, and hope that someone thoughtfully acts on the results. Retail medicine has already made enormous inroads into primary care by providing rapid access at convenient locations at lower cost.”

Question refer to the text below
Seizures and Vaping
The US Food and Drug Administration is looking into 35 reports of people having seizures after they used ecigarettes from 2010–2019.
Thirty-five reports is a small number, but an important enough number that the administration wants to look into it. The administration would like people who had these issues to report them on its website.
Young people are in many of the reports, but there are no other obvious patterns. It is unclear if there is a direct link between seizures and vaping, although seizures can come from nicotine poisoning. The administration will also look into other risks of e-cigarettes.
ast month, other federal regulators wanted more rules for selling flavoured e-cigarettes because teenagers are using them so much.
The word seizures in line 2 means
