This survey investigation examines practicing high school counselors' knowledge of adolescent suicide, and the counselors' formal training in "suicidology" with particular reference to the sex of the counselor respondents regarding knowledge and training. A questionnaire of 28 items was constructed, field-tested and mailed to 425 professional high school counselors within the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Completed questionnaires were returned by 290 counselors. Analysis of the data indicated the responding counselors were unknowledgeable about the various factors relating to adolescent suicide. In addition, several chi-squares yielded significant differences in knowledge and attitudes of male and female respondents. The results strongly supported the assumption that the responding counselors possessed little formal academic training in "suicidology." (Author)
