Suicide Prevention Fact Sheet
Produce a 1000-word Fact Sheet (two to four pages) on suicide prevention using assigned resources/textbook and two resources found on your own.
If the first letter of your last name is A–P, you will develop a Suicide Prevention Fact Sheet on the Adolescent/Teen population
Your fact sheet should:
Describe the prevalence of suicide within your assigned age population (elderly or adolescent/teen). This should include statistics and growth rates.
Present and explain statistical evidence relating to suicide and co-existing disorders such as mood disorders and substance abuse.
Explain the three indicators of suicidal behavior (ideation, plan, and attempt) and provide statistical evidence of the prevalence of each within your assigned population.
List and discuss risk factors and warning signs for suicide among your assigned population.
Provide three national resources for suicide prevention (hotlines, websites, etc.).
Use required resources to write the fact sheet.
Use a minimum of two additional scholarly references (this is in addition to your required resources/textbook). Scholarly references can include peer-reviewed articles, journals, government websites, and any course supplemental resources.
