school principal here will survey groups of students and teachers at four San Diego County high schools to study if attitudes on suicide differ ,according to age. Karen Clark, principal of James Dukes Elementary School in Ramo- na, is conducting the ~urvey for her doctoral dissertation at the Universi- ty of San Diego. - Sh~ceived permission to survey students and staff members at San Marcos, San Dieguito, Torrey Pines and University of San Diego high schools. Parental permission is required before the students participate, Clark said yesterday. In a letter that will be mailed to parents of San Marcos High School students, Clark explained that she hopes tbe survey results "will be uti- lized to enhance current suicide pre- vention and intervention programs." Clark was introduced to the sub- ject in a very personal way last year, when she was assistant principal at Ramona High School. One of the stu- dents there committed suicide. After that, she said, "I became in- terested in the subject and in ways we can help prevent suicide." Accordmg to Clark, cases of_.sui- £ide-,among people between Jhe agC; of 15 and 24 ave increased ramah- cally throughout the m e States in recent years. Most of the research on suicide among this age group has focused on college students and not on those in high school, she said. The "suicide opinion questionnaire" that Clark has prepared contains 100 questions that asks respondents to agree or disa- gree about a variety of statements. Among the statements are: "I would feel ashamed lf a mem- ber of my family committed sui• cide," "Most people who commit sui- cide do not believe in an afterlife,"

and "The possibility of committrng suicide is greater for older people than for younger people." Clark said she will begin her re- search next month and should be fin- ished by February or March. The names of people who participate in the survey will be kept confidential, but Clark plans to make some of her findings public. "The whole purpose of any re- search is to get people to think about the issue," she said. Clark said she is particularly in- terested in comparing the responses of teachers and students to see if the two groups have different attitudes on suicide. Although surveys on suicide are relatively rare, most high schools do not ignore the issue. Randy Wilson, senior counselor at San Marcos High, said he met recent- ly with the senior class to talk about suicide. From his experience, Wilson has found that thoughts of suicide are more prevalent among high school seniors. "One of the things that happens, particularly in the senior year, is that there are so many forces acting on a student in terms of current pres- sures and pressures they know are coming up," he said. Wilson said he tries to let the stu- dents know they are not alone in hav- ing apprehension about the future. He added, "We talk about the idea of suicide as something that is prevent- able." During the past six years, three students from San Marcos High School have committed suicide, ac- cording to Superintendent William Streshly.
