Suicide Prevention Among Substance Abusing Homeless Youth

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Suicide

In brief

The literature is characterized by a dearth of information on interventions for homeless youth, and no suicide prevention intervention has been tested with these youth. Such focus is critical as suicide is the leading cause of death among homeless youth. Therefore, this study seeks to address this gap in the research literature with the goal to identify an effective strategy to intervene in suicide ideation in this population.
