Rural Adolescents' Perceived Personal Risks for Suicide.
Greening, Leilani; Dollinger, Stephen J.
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v22 n2 p211-17 Apr 1993
The suicidal cognitions of 455 rural high school students were assessed as part of a project on risk perception. Over half reported some risk, whereas 12% reported their subjective risk to be quite likely. Findings are discussed in the context of the proposition that religion deters self-destructive impulses.
