Abstract
Looking in, Looking Out: Coping With Adolescent Suicide in the Cree and Ojibway Communities of Northern Ontario
Minore B~~Boone M~~et al
In 1990 the Nishnawbe-Aski Nation undertook broad consultation on the causes of, & community responses to, adolescent suicide. This paper analyses the results, applying a locus of control model which identifies internal factors over which a community perceives it has control & those which are believed to be rooted in external, hence less controllable, sources. It also examines elements which either limit or encourage the development of preventative & coping strategies within the communities. (46 refs.)
