N2  - A study was made of all suicides of young people aged under 25 years in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) over the 6 year period 1985 to 1990. The rationale was to attempt to identify significant risk factors. 'Psychological autopsies' were carried out on material from the coroner's files. The results of the study suggest that suicide among the young in the ACT appears to be the result of a complex interplay of intrapersonal, interpersonal and social environmental factors.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
