Prevention Plan

When suicidal behavior is reported, student affairs officers on many campuses notify parents as one component of a multifaceted campus suicide prevention plan. In response to proposals to mandate parent notification, the author argues that practical considerations warrant against expanding state laws to require notification following campus suicide attempts. The recent experience with parent notice at one university confirms the work of earlier researchers who concluded that parents rarely withdraw suicidal students from enrollment. Although a policy of sending the letters may deter further episodes of selfdestructive behavior, parents once alerted to the situation are not likely to intervene in a manner that will reduce significantly the risk of suicide.

The Relationship

Adaptive life-maintaining characteristics, which may be present in non-suicidal people and absent in suicidal people, have received little attention. This study examined the relationship between these adaptive characteristics and mood by giving the Reasons for Living Inventory (RFL) to 199 college students, a group that has recently been shown to be at high risk for suicidal behavior. Subjects completed the RFL, experienced a mood induction or served as a control, and then completed the RFL a second time. Analyses of variance of RFL change scores indicated that elated subjects differed from all others in overall RFL and responsibility to family scores, which improved while others remained about the same. Also, depressed subjects differed from all others in their survival and coping beliefs, which dropped while others remained about the same. These results suggest that a brief intervention such as a mood manipulation technique may positively or negatively affect reasons that people have for not committing suicide.
