TSF-Funded Study: Suicide Predictors in Adolescents and Young Adults

TSF funded a University of Washington longitudinal research study exploring predictive factors of suicidal behavior in Seattle adolescents and young adults. The study seeks to identify the social contexts and individual characteristics that increase the likelihood of suicide ideation and action. By identifying these factors, more effective targeted prevention efforts can be developed.
