Abstract
Secondary and Tertiary Prevention Strategies Applied to Suicide Among American Indians
Neligh G
Primary-prevention concepts have been widely applied to the health problems of American Indian people. When applied to mental health issues, & the problem of suicide in particular, primary-prevention intervention methods may not be effective. As an alternative, secondary & tertiary interventions directed at the prevention of suicide are examined, including evidence for their effectiveness & new potential applications of these techniques.
