title: Social capital and youth suicide risk factors in First Nations communities.
abstract: The paper presents a model of plausible mechanisms linking social capital to suicide risk factors among First Nations youth, informed by a study that explored the concept of social capital in First Nations communities, and by a study on mental health services in First Nations communities in Manitoba. The model incorporates several components of social capital. The plausible impact of social capital on protective and risk factors of suicide among youth is explored.
