Sallee, Emily; Ng, Kok-Mun; Cazares-Cervantes, Abraham – Professional School Counseling, 2021
Despite the growing epidemic of suicide ideation and attempt in adolescents, there is a lack of theory-based, empirical research to shed light on these issues in this population and inform school counselors' preventive and responsive practices.

The Australian government has opposed…

Mackin, Juliette; Perkins, Tamara; Furrer, Carrie – American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research: The Journal of the National Center, 2012
This study provides actionable information about intervening with American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth to prevent suicide. Statewide school survey data were used to model the impact of risk and protective factors on self-reported suicide attempts (both AI/AN and non-AI/AN). The cumulative risk and protective model worked similarly for both…

Identifying whether suicides in a region are due to characteristics of the residents living there or to some enduring feature of the region is difficult when using cross-sectional studies. To distinguish these factors, we compared the suicides of a region's residents with people who were temporarily visiting the region. Using U.S. death records…
