The book opens with an examination of suicidality as a complex
issue. Suicides may be prevented by addressing the mode of
reporting in the media, by restricting access to means of suicide,
and training health workers and primary care physicians to identify
people at risk, assess and manage respective crises, and provide
adequate follow-up care. This book discusses the rates of suicidal
behavior in inmates, risk factors, and provides a review on how
these aspects may differ by offender type (female, juvenile,
violent, and sex offenders). An assessment of reasons for living is
provided with the hope that it may bolster long-term risk
evaluation and may contribute to the clinical tools available to
therapists working with high-risk clients. Nurturing clients
reasons for living may aid in stopping passive suicidal ideation. A
study that used data from 2,386 7th through 12th grades who
completed Wave I of Add Health is exhibited, suggesting that sex,
grade point average, self-esteem, depression, optimism, sense of
school belongingness, and closeness to both mothers and fathers
effected students propensity for experiencing bullying and
suicidality. As youth suicide is a significant public health
problem that requires urgent attention, the concluding chapter
describes emerging ideation-to-action models and their implications
for school-based youth suicide prevention.
