Abstract
An examination of the period from 1980 to 1987 revealed that state government initiatives were, in general, associated with a beneficial effect on teenage suicide rates in the states of America. Student participation in school-based suicide prevention programs, however, was associated with a detrimental effect on state teenage suicide rates. The implications of these results were discussed.Keywords
