Brief Summary

Background: \- Suicide is one of the main causes of death for adolescents in the U.S. The most effective way to decrease suicide is by training doctors to recognize the risk factors in their clients. One risk factor for suicide is chronic illness. So pediatric genetic counselors come across high-risk clients. But the suicide risk assessment (SRA) practices of these counselors are not well known. Researchers want to study learn more about this. Objectives: \- To describe the practices, attitudes, and beliefs of genetic counselors about SRA of adolescents. Eligibility: \- Genetic counselors who see adolescents ages 10 21 Design:

  • A study will be open to a listserv for genetic counselors.
  • Participants will take a survey on their own.
  • The survey will be online on a secure website.
  • Participants will give data about themselves. This can include age, gender, job, etc.
  • The survey will be about 60 questions.
  • The survey will take around 20 25 minutes.
  • The questions are about participants experiences, practices, attitudes, and beliefs about SRA.
