Youth Suicide: A Cross-Cultural Perspective.
Lester, David
Adolescence, v23 n92 p955-58 Win 1988
Examined changes in the suicide rate of teenagers and young adults internationally from 1970 to 1980. Twenty-three nations experienced increases (with Norway experiencing the largest percentage increase), while six experienced decreases. Unlike general suicide rates, teenage suicide rates were not related to the quality of life in the nations surveyed. (Author)
