TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Suicide and suicidal ideation among college students JO - International journal on disability and human development IJDHD A1 - Yozwiak, J.A. A1 - Lentzsch-Parcells, C.M. A1 - Zapolski, T.C.B. SP - 185 EP - 189 VL - 11 IS - 3 N2 - Suicide and suicidal ideation are a concern on college campuses. The prevalence data for suicidal thoughts and suicidal behavior among college students, and the associated risk factors, are reviewed. Important components of a prevention and intervention program are addressed. An integrated, multifaceted approach that involves collaboration among important stakeholders, and incorporates the unique features of each university may be benefi cial. Once at-risk students are identifi ed, a comprehensive assessment can be conducted. A treatment plan can then be developed that targets the unique factors related to suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior for each student. It is recommended that multidisciplinary teams be utilized in all phases of program development, implementation, assessment, and treatment. © 2012 by Walter de Gruyter · Berlin · Boston.
