N2  - OBJECTIVE: To assess high school counselors' perceived self-efficacy in recognizing students at risk for suicide. <br><br>METHODS: A survey was completed by a random sample of 186 high school counselors. <br><br>RESULTS: Most counselors believed that it was their role to recognize students at risk for suicide and that if they did, it would reduce student suicides. However, only 1 in 3 believed they could recognize a student at risk. High efficacy-expectations scores were significantly associated with working at a high school with a crisis intervention team. <br><br>CONCLUSION: This study suggests that school counselor training programs could devote more time to developing the skills essential to recognizing students at risk for suicide.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
