Abstract

Suicide among American Indians has long been a concern for public health professionals and the communities which suffer these losses. The focus on suicide among American Indian adolescents is more recent and has engendered a great deal of apprehension about the forces that impinge upon the lives of these young people. In particular, the epidemic-like occurrence of teenage suicide and suicide attempts has increased general awareness of this problem.
