Youth suicide prevention.

Abstract Youth suicide, the third leading cause of death among teenagers and young adults, accounts for more deaths in the United States than all natural causes combined among 15- to 24-year-olds according to the National Center for Health Statistics (2000a). The public health significance of the problem of youth suicide becomes even more apparent when the high rates of nonlethal suicidal behavior are taken into account. This paper reviews the extensive research literature on youth suicide that has emerged during the past two decades. While great advances in knowledge have led to increased understanding of the risk factors for child and adolescent suicides, the application of this knowledge for designing prevention strategies remains inchoate.
