This study focussed on two general areas of secondary school-based programs that were operational during the 1989-1990 school year: (1) Suicide prevention/intervention programmatic components which were utilized in the school setting; and (2) specific adolescent suicide prevention/intervention/postvention activities practiced by school counselors in school settings. Researchers examined a 31-item questionnaire returned by school counselors, each a registered member of the American School Counselors Association, representing 325 school districts nationwide. Results indicated that nearly one-half of schools in this study did not have a formal suicide prevention/intervention program of policy during the 1989-1990 school year. Forty-one percent of the counselors reported no training in the assessment of lethality regarding suicide risk and 51 percent lacked confidence in their capacity (in 1989-1990) to function at school as an adolescent suicide prevention agent, although 93 percent received suicide prevention/intervention training. Eighty percent cited personal involvement with a student(s) who exhibited suicidal ideation and/or behaviors during that school year. Schools having a formal suicide prevention program were more likely to implement a range of other recommended suicide prevention components. Five appendices contain data results and a copy of the school questionnaire. (RJM)
