Depression, desperation, and suicidal ideation in college students: Results from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention College Screening Project at Emory University
The objective of this investigation was to examine suicidal ideation and depression in undergraduate college students who participated in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention-sponsored College Screening Project at Emory University. The principal measure of depressive symptoms was the nine-item depression module from the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Additional questions were focused on current suicidal ideation, past suicide att…
Suicide Prevention Strategies: A Systematic Review
CONTEXT: In 2002, an estimated 877,000 lives were lost worldwide through suicide. Some developed nations have implemented national suicide prevention plans.

The Case against Assisted Suicide: For the Right to End-of-Life Care
"Few issues are as volatile or misunderstood as physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. In The Case against Assisted Suicide: For the Right to End-of-Life Care, Drs. Foley and Hendin unravel why such principles as patient autonomy, compassion, and rationality, which are often invoked by supporters of legalization, fail to address the actual situations of terminally ill patients. Incisive discussions by leading authorities in the fields of medi…

By the close of 2001, according to Oregon public health officials, physicians in the state had lawfully prescribed a lethal dose of barbiturates for 139 patients. Ninety of these patients ingested the substance and died (http://www.ohd.hr.state.or.us/news). To date, Oregon remains the sole U.S. state to authorize physicians, as part of recognized medical care (and subject to certain regulatory constraints) to dispense prescription drugs for use i…
The Practice of Euthanasia
John Keown's informed and powerful argument against euthanasia features both an excellent exposition of its pitfalls and a strong confrontation with a question that remains controversial abroad: Are there circumstances in which withdrawal of treatment should be considered euthanasia? American readers of this book, who consider the question settled and are unfamiliar with cultural and legal differences in the way European countries and the United …
Suicide in College Students
Despite substantial attention to the problem of suicide among college students over the past several decades, reports on the extent of the problem have been largely inconclusive. This article reviews the findings of major studies of college suicide, noting how variations in campus and student characteristics, as well as inconsistencies in the way student suicides are defined and measured, have limited comparison of conclusions. Current evidence i…

The Oregon Report Don't Ask, Don't Tell
The Oregon Health Division's report on assisted suicide under the\nstate's new legislation does not provide enough data to support its reassuring\nconclusions. Especially glaring is the lack of data on the palliative care\noffered to patients who requested assisted suicide, on their financial\nsituation, and on their emotional state
