The ultimate rejection: helping the survivors of teen suicide victims.

Each year, teens who commit suicide leave behind more than 25,000 survivors. In addition to feelings of depression, anger, and guilt, the survivors must cope with societal attitudes toward suicide. Few resources are available to deal with the problem. This paper discusses the impact of teen suicide on survivors, and outlines educational and administrative postincident intervention guidelines for schools.

The impact of chlamydia infections on teen mothers and their children.

Chlamydia trachomatis recently has emerged as the most frequently diagnosed sexually transmitted disease (STD) agent. An estimated three million cases are diagnosed annually in the United States. Because the infection is not reportable, only estimates can be made. The most common STD, it also is often transmitted to infants through infected mothers. Prevention and treatment of the disease in newborns require different procedures from those for gonorrhea, as do diagnostic and treatment methods for infected adults. Chlamydia also appears to pose a threat to pregnancy.
