TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Suicide myths and health care provider bias JO - Home care provider A1 - Thobaben, M. SP - 109 EP - 111 VL - 2 IS - 3 N2 - If most health care providers believe suicide is not an acceptable alternative for clients to alleviate their anguish, then why are these providers not more diligent in assessing clients for suicidal ideation (thoughts about suicide)? One reason is providers believe the myths associated with suicide, which can prevent them from becoming involved with elderly clients who are suicidal.
