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 behaviorQuebec (Province)BoysSuicidal behaviorQuebec (Province)SuicidePreventionHomosexualityPsychological aspectsJeunes homosexuelsComportement suicidaireQuebec (Province)GarconsComportement suicidaireQuebec (Province)SuicidePreventionHomosexualiteAspect psychologiqueGay youthSuicidal behaviorBoysSuicidal behaviorSuicidePrevention.HomosexualityPsychological aspects.Jeunes homosexuelsComportement suicidaireGarconsComportement suicidaireSuicidePrevention.HomosexualiteAspect psychologique.362.282/086/64209714Dorais Michel1101977Lajeunesse Simon Louis1962-1716826MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810685303321Dead boys can't dance4112401UNINA
