Abstract
Adolescent Suicide and Suicide Attempts – Sante Fe County, New Mexico, January 1985 – May 1990
Long O~~et al
In February 1990, a physician notified the Office of Epidemiology, New Mexico Department of Health (NMDH), of a possible cluster of suicides among high school students in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, after two male high school students committed suicide within a 4-day period. Because of concerns by high school officials that the number of students attempting suicide in 1990 had increased, the NMDH began an epidemiologic investigation. (5 refs.)
