title: A review and application of suicide prevention programs in high school settings.
abstract: Teen suicide is a terrible tragedy and is the third leading cause of death among high school children aged 14 to 19.

A comprehensive review of the extant literature provides examination of the risk and protective factors of suicide in this age group, the development of these programs, the current state of the science and recommendations for enhanced assessment and intervention.
