Brief report: Classification of adolescent suicide and risk-taking deaths
Article Abstract:
The suicide and risk-taking deaths of adolescents aged 12-17 years in New South Wales between 1996 and 2000 is examined to determine patterns in the deaths and to find the extent to which these adolescents could be classified into distinct groups. It shows that the adolescents could be classified into three categories which are deaths resulting from enduring difficulties, pivotal life events and adolescent experimentation.
