This report highlights the need for better recognition of youth suicide risk factors. The authors studied the files of 81 Canadian (B.C.) children, aged 12-18, who died by suicide between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2007. More than two-thirds of these children had exhibited previous suicidal behavior, and most had reached out to someone for help before their deaths.
