Suicide among college students has received increased national attention over the past few decades, partly due to the publicity regarding high-profile suicide events on college campuses throughout the United States and its territories. Currently, suicide is identified as the second-leading cause of death in college students. Due to federal legislation such as the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act of 2004, many college campuses have been able to establish suicide prevention programs. This article describes how a psychiatric nurse faculty member successfully established a comprehensive suicide prevention program that was initially supported by grant funds from the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act.
在过去几十年里，大学生自杀问题越来越受到全国关注，部分原因是美国及其属地大学校园里备受瞩目的自杀事件受到了媒体报道。目前，自杀被认定为大学生死亡的第二大原因。由于诸如2004年《加勒特·李·史密斯纪念法案》等联邦立法，许多大学校园得以建立自杀预防项目。本文介绍了一位精神科护理教员如何成功建立一个全面的自杀预防项目，该项目最初得到了《加勒特·李·史密斯纪念法案》提供的拨款支持。
