Abstract

Those who work with children and adolescents have become increasingly concerned about suicidal behaviors. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among youth aged 10–14 years. Certain subgroups of students have higher rates of suicide including American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN). Groups with a higher incidence of suicide attempts are AI/AN females followed by Latinas, AI/AN males, and Asian American/Pacific Islander females. In response to increasing concerns about suicidal behavior, school-based suicide prevention programs were developed and implemented in school settings. Risk and protective factors have been identified and incorporated into these programs, but most do not incorporate cultural considerations. This chapter will provide an overview of the risk and protective factors related to suicidal behaviors, prevalence of suicide and suicide-related behaviors in youth, review school-based suicide prevention programs, and discuss the relevance of culture in program development and delivery.
