Abstract

The purpose of this research synthesis was to analyze the research conducted in the domain of adolescent suicide and substance abuse through studies in the United States between 1990 and 2002. A systematic examination for research focus, hypotheses, research and analytic design, sample, validity and reliability of instrumentation, variables and accompanying study outcomes, strengths, and limitations was conducted on 19 adolescent suicide studies. The Research Analysis Tool (RAT) developed by Moody, Wilson, Smyth, Schwartz, Tittle, and VanCott (1988) was used for data organization. Copyright © International Nurses Society on Addictions.
