They show that those who are heterosexual but suspected of being homosexual are most at risk of suicide and make recommendations for suicide prevention.Gay youthSuicidal behaviorQuébec (Province)BoysSuicidal behaviorQuébec (Province)SuicidePreventionHomosexualityPsychological aspectsJeunes homosexuelsComportement suicidaireQuébec (Province)GarçonsComportement suicidaireQuébec (Province)SuicidePréventionHomosexualitAspect psychologiqueGay youthSuicidal behaviorBoysSuicidal behaviorSuicidePrevention.HomosexualityPsychological aspects.Jeunes homosexuelsComportement suicidaireGarçonsComportement suicidaireSuicidePrévention.HomosexualitAspect psychologique.362.282/086/64209714Dorais Michel1101977Lajeunesse Simon Louis1962-1481635MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783800603321Dead boys can't dance3698704UNINA
