Addendum to T.O. blog

I wrote a blog entry T.O.: Feel better, OK? when reports first surfaced that NFL star Terrell Owens might have attempted suicide. In that blog, I stated: "…statistics show that African-Americans attempt suicide at lower rates than Caucasian and Hispanic Americans."

The findings appear in the Nov. 1 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
