Stephenson, Belesis, and Balliet (2005) urge that future research on college student suicide should not continue its historical emphasis on completed suicide nor on the contrast between students and non-students. But their paper does not provide an adequately complete and accurate summary of our present knowledge of completed student suicide. This commentary, by redressing these shortcomings, provides an up to date review of our present knowledge of college student suicide. In doing so it enhances both the context for considering future research directions and the bases for the design of future studies.
