TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - A suicide epidemic in an American Indian community JO - American Indian and Alaska Native mental health research A1 - Tower, M. SP - 34 EP - 44 VL - 3 IS - 1 N2 - 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.
