American Journal of Health Education, v32 n5 p288-92 Sep-Oct 2001
Surveyed 10th graders from 32 Colombian public schools to examine risk behaviors related to depression and suicide. About 21 percent of respondents expressed suicidal feelings. This transcended to actual plans in 19 percent of respondents, while 16 percent reported at least one attempt in the previous 30 days. Suicidal thoughts and attempts differed by gender, perceived academic performance, and type of school. (SM)
