abstract="Suicide prevention has not been adequately addressed since the &quot;global&quot; mortality rate for suicide for the year 2000 was 16 per 100,000, which averages one death every 40 seconds somewhere in the world. This article examines brief clinical and community-based interventions for the prevention of youth suicide. Among the more commonly advocated clinical methods for at-risk adolescents are cognitive behavioral treatments, interpersonal psychotherapy, and psychopharmacological interventions. Community-based prevention methods consist of 24-hour crisis centers and hotlines, method restriction, indirect case-finding, direct case-finding, media communications, postvention programs, parenting programs, and cultural programs for minority groups. It is concluded that a number of promising primary and secondary prevention interventions now exist but that there is a need for more carefully controlled evaluations into their effectiveness.<p />",
