Abstract
A triage model for suicidal youth was evaluated at four community-based agencies over a 30-month period. The program screened youths for suicidal ideation, trained staff in assessment, instituted agency protocols for triage, and established a multilevel mental health service network. The number of suicide attempts decreased after implementation of the program, psychiatrists' evaluations of suicidal tendencies concurred with those of the staff, and additional community-based agencies voluntarily introduced the program.Keywords
