      abstract = {Suicide is the number one leading cause of death among  adolescents aged 10-24 in Oregon, and it continues to be a  leading cause of death among adolescents throughout the  world. Rates of adolescent suicide are increasing  nationally, and suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and  completed suicides are rising above the national average in  Oregon. Novel ideas for addressing the issue of suicide are  needed. Targeting youth with educational suicide prevention  campaigns is one strategy that can have short and long-term  effects on reducing the suicide rate. A multi-faceted  approach addressing access to mental health services,  peer-support, anti-bullying, and risk management including  firearm safety, is needed to truly address the growing  problem of adolescent suicide and protect our nation?s  youth. Utilizing a one-time educational talk for  high-school adolescents can normalize discussing mental  health and foster open discussions with adolescents.  Curriculum defining at risk youth, the warning signs of  suicide, and positive outlets for support like peer groups  and trusted adults can help address this growing national  crisis.},
