title: Adolescent suicide.
abstract: In Australia, the suicide rate for adolescent males has doubled during the seventies; that for adolescent girls remains unchanged. For the remainder of the male population the rise is paralleled only by men in their twenties. Otherwise, for middle-aged men the suicide rate remains about the same and in the older age groups is falling.
