Adolescent running away behavior: active or passive avoidance?

Suicide ideation and community support: an evaluation of two programs.

Thirty-one suicidal French-Canadian men and women participated in a study of the differential effect of two community-based support programs on levels of self-esteem, stress, and suicide ideation. Results indicate that subjects in both programs reported an increase in self-esteem and a decrease in life stress and suicide ideation. The two social support approaches reflected in the respective programs did not result in relative differences in suicide ideation.
