In 1992, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a Resource Guide that described the rationale and evidence for the effectiveness of various suicide prevention strategies and identified model programs that incorporate those strategies. This summary of the Resource Guide describes eight suicide prevention strategies and provides general recommendations for developing, implementing, and evaluating suicide prevention programs targeting adolescents and young adults. The second article outlines general issues that public health officials and health and media professionals should consider when reporting about suicide. It identifies aspects of news coverage that can promote suicide contagion, and describes ways communities can address this problem through specific types of news coverage.
