Suicide Prevention: An Analysis and Replication of a Curriculum-Based High School Program
Ciffone, Jerry
Social Work, v52 n1 p41-49 2007
This article highlights some of the concerns about and benefits of curriculum-based suicide prevention programs delivered to students in a high school setting. In addition, it presents information about a specific curriculum-based prevention program and provides evidence that the program changed unwanted attitudes about suicide in all the areas targeted for change and reduced adolescents' reluctance to seek mental health treatment for themselves and their peers. The positive results were much like those found in a similar study by Ciffone (1993). Furthermore, multiple presenters in two separate schools all obtained similar positive results.
