What Works

This chapter looks at suicide among adolescents and young adults. Although true suicide causation is difficult to empirically establish, an accumulated body of research points to a number of individual and environmental factors that have been closely and fairly consistently associated with youth suicidal behaviors. These risk factors are identified and briefly discussed here. The chapter looks the behavioral and environmental factors for suicide. The main aim of this chapter is to examine current youth suicide prevention strategies and interventions with an eye towards identifying what works, what does not appear to work, and what research needs to be undertaken to move the field forward. Given the multiplicity of risk and protective factors that have been related to youth suicide, it is understandable that many different approaches have been taken in the attempt to prevent this behaviour.

Future Reference

The concluding chapter of this section on adolescent suicide lists what we have learned and what we still do not know about identifying and treating youths at risk for suicide and preventing suicide in adolescents. Drawing on data presented in earlier chapters of the section, key findings about youth suicide and risk and protective factors are summarized, along with findings about current approaches to prevention and treatment. An agenda for future research is presented that addresses some of the most significant knowledge gaps about youth suicide and suicide prevention. Methodological difficulties that complicate research in this field are briefly discussed. The chapter concludes with summary conclusions to guide future reference and prevention efforts.
