Abstract
Adolescent suicide is a tragically familiar problem for many. This study sought to evaluate the disparity in the understanding of students participating in an after-school suicide prevention program, school staff understanding, and available research findings on the risk factors for adolescent suicide. Qualitative data was collected in surveying both groups and comparing the findings to available research. The results of the study may be useful in helping bridge the gaps in understanding by identifying what risk factors were least understood.
