abstract="This study explored suicide knowledge, experiences, attitudes, practices, and intervention skills of mental health professionals (n = 52) working in counseling centers of Puerto Rican public and private universities. Intervention skills were examined using a Spanish version of the Suicide Intervention Response Inventory (SIRI-2; Neimeyer & Bonelle, 1997). <br><br>RESULTS suggest inadequate screening practices, difficulty in exploring and assessing suicidal ideation/conduct and intent, and a lack of knowledge of risk factors. <br><br>RESULTS point to the need for further training in suicide screening and risk assessment as an early intervention strategy for prevention. Implications for future studies and practice are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
