Opis

This book consists of full texts of papers presented at the National Conference on Risk Factors for Youth Suicide held in Bethesda, MD in May 1986. These papers were critiqued by a review panel and opened for discussion and comment by those attending the conference. A major job for the Secretary's task force on youth suicide was to assess and consolidate current information. The work group generated a comprehensive list of potential risk factors, grouped them into specific risk factor domains, and identified experts in each area to review the scientific literature and write summary papers. In their papers, the commissioned authors were asked to catalogue analyze and synthesize the literature on factors linked to youth suicide.
