There are several attempted explanations of suicide. They are the psychodynamic, sociocultu

*funding and helping to improve existing state, local and federal youth suicide prevention programs, and to establish new programs as needed.

The study was done on eighty-three women. Initially, there were eighty-nine women but six withdrew from the study. The girls were recruited from Cornell University and State University of New York. The study included a thirty-minute phone interview based on a standard script assessing changes in sexual identity, behavior and attractions. Then, a written format was given based on questions from the disease control youth risk behavior survey. They were asked if they had considered suicide and if she answered no, then she was asked what factor had helped her to never consider it (interview ended). If she answered yes, she answered if she had ever attempted suicide. The girls were also asked how many times and what ages. The researchers found that twenty-three percent of the young women reported attempting suicide at least once. Twenty-six percent of the youths who reported a suicide attempt did not actually attempt suicide. The author stated that although the number of young women recruited from support groups was small, they reported a suicide attempt rate comparable to those found in previous studies at-risk lesbian and bisexual youths; however, only one young woman reported a life threatening attempt. I wonder how valid is this study. It was done on a small amount of women. Can this research be repeated? I would like to know what they are going to do about their findings. Does this apply to those unsure of their sexuality?

This article reviewed a study that differentiated between suicidal patients who complete treatment and those who voluntarily withdraw after resolution of the immediate crisis. Theorists refer to help negation as the refusal to accept or access available helping resources as a manifestation of hopelessness, pessimism, and cynicism regarding the efficacy of treatment (Clark and Fawcett, 1992). The study included 188 individuals, 143 successfully completed treatment and 45 who withdrew prematurely. The ages ranged from 18 to 26. These things were assessed: suicidal ideation, life stress, negative expectations, depression, personality traits and psychiatric diagnoses. The results indicated from the interviews that those who withdrew were as symptomatic and evidenced problem-solving skills as poor as those who successfully accessed available services.

Suicide attempts among sexual-minority youths

In my research and my visit, I have that both ask similar questions in assessing suicide attempters. The questions are one, do you have a plan and two, are they homicidal or suicidal?

The author of this article is addressing the issue of the correlation between suicide attempts and sexual minority. The author stated that two questions were brought to mind: who should classified as a sexual minority, and what constitutes a suicide attempt? A sexual minority was considered those who identified themselves as gay, lesbian, bisexual or who engage in same-sex behavior. A study was done on sexual minorities.
