Abstract

A number of factors associated with teen suicide have been elucidated in recent years. Relevant clinical and research issues are reviewed: victim characteristics including psychopathology and warning signs; social influences including the effects of music and the media, the role of imitation and access to firearms; prevention programs; and implications for practice including professional education, primary care interventions, response to threats, commitment, and post-intervention.
