- "Choking Game" Awareness and Participation Among 8th Graders ---
Oregon, 2008
"This study represents the first systematic assessment at the state level
for awareness of and participation in strangulation activities among
youths. Results from the 2008 Oregon Healthy Teens survey indicated
that nearly one third of 8th-grade students were aware of someone who
participated in the choking game, and nearly 6% acknowledged trying it."

- CDC Choking Game MMWR
CDC officials urged parents to be aware the fad exists, and to watch for
possible warning signs like bloodshot eyes, marks on the neck,
frequent and severe headaches, disorientation after spending time
alone, and ropes, scarves or belts tied to bedroom furniture or
doorknobs or found knotted on the floor. The authors acknowledged
that 82 is probably an undercount.
- William's County Ohio Youth Health Risk Behavioral Survey
Reports 11% of youth played the choking game, increasing to 14% of
females and 19% of those over 17 years of age.
Injury Prevention 2009;15:45-49; doi:10.1136/ip.2008.018523
