American Indian/Alaska Native Suicide Prevention Hotline: Literature Review and Discussion with Experts

摘要

The methodology used in this study consists of two parts: (1) a literature review that provides background information on the problem of AI/AN suicide, the effectiveness of suicide prevention hotlines, and related issues and (2) telephone discussions with a convenience sample of 13 federal and non-federal respondents (4 federal and 9 non-federal) working in the area of AI/AN suicide prevention. The majority of these respondents are AI/AN. Because of the small sample size, findings from the telephone discussions are not generalizable.
