Suicidal behavior in adolescents and young adults: the international picture

R F Diekstra. Crisis. 1989 Apr.

Abstract

This chapter has reviewed the scope of suicide and attempted suicide among the young from an international perspective. Socio-demographic trends have been analyzed and explanatory theories for international differences proposed. An international strategy for prevention is discussed and specific recommendations are presented. Efforts are to be made to translate international strategies to prevent youth suicide into community, clinical, and research programs that can be effectively implemented around the world.
