Abstract

This paper highlights the increasing occurrence of suicide in Australia, particularly among young adult and adolescent males. It examines the trends for both males and females and considers the role of selected social factors in suicide. The need for better suicide prevention programs, which focus both at the primary level of prevention and at the postvention level, is addressed.
