Kognito releases study on suicide prevention program

Each year over 1,350 college students commit suicide
and, according to the American College Health Association,
almost 10% of all students say they have seriously considered
suicide during the past year. Academic institutions
have been actively seeking ways to engage their faculty
and staff in identifying at-risk students and referring them
to their counseling centers, a crucial task considering that
close to 80% of students who commit suicide are never
seen by a counselor.

In May-June of 2009, Kognito engaged 42 universities
around the U.S. in a survey study to analyze the impact of
At-Risk, its recently launched gatekeeper training product.
This report summarizes the results of the study.
