abstract="The purpose of this study is to ascertain rates of suicidal ideation and self-harm in a classroom population of 13- and 14-year-old children using a screening questionnaire and to confirm accuracy of these screening results by home interview. There were significant differences between suicidal ideation rates at screening and at home interview (44% vs. 29%) and between self-harm rates (8% vs. 2%). Those with suicidal ideation at home interview believed more in a &quot;right to suicide&quot; and believed suicidal ideation to be more widespread among adolescents. School factors were believed by respondents to be important in the causation of adolescent suicide. Fewer than one-fifth would advise consultation with a psychiatrist to a suicidal friend.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
