It is well known that many suicidal young people avoid asking for help, however the reasons why are less understood. A sample of 101 american indians (aged 15 - 21 years) who had thought about or attempted suicide was asked open ended questions about barriers to seking formal an informal help while suicidal. The 74 participatns who avoided at least one of help most commonly reported internal factors, such as embrassment, lack of problem recognition, a believe that nobody could help, and self reliance. Structural barriers, such as lack of money or service availabiliy, were only rarely cited. Findings indicate that efforts to increased help seeking about young, suicidal american should target beliefs about emotional problems and help seeking.
