Larry Bliss and Marc Gunning mentioned a specific federal report on teen suicide on 2/27/92. This was issued by an arm of the U.S. Government, and is available at thousands of libraries across the country through the U.S. GOVERNEMENT DOCUMENTS DEPOSITORY PROGRAM. If you cannot find it at your local library, then ask your librarian for the name of the nearest Gov Docs Depository Library (also found at Libraries which are part of Law schools, Land grant colleges, and in typically in the county seats of most larger sized counties).
