This presentation discussed the suicide rate for people, age 10-24 years, on a county-by-county basis in Ontario, Canada. Descriptive data for each case was divided into 2 general categories: circumstances of the suicide & characteristics of the individual. Item-by-item frequencies for each variable were calculated &, in themselves, may suggest prevention strategies. Chi-squares were determined for paired item frequencies, for example males versus females. Separate variables were cluster analyzed into factor profiles which described the young people most at risk for suicide, specific to each community.
