Applying Models To The Suicide In Wyoming

Several risk factors contribute to the prevalence of suicide among white men in Wyoming. When the suicide situation in Wyoming is viewed in relation to the use of the Social-Ecological Model it is possible to develop an argument that the ultimate goal of this approach to understanding suicide is the development of preventive measures against the vice. The four levels of the social-ecological model provide a platform that facilitates an understanding of suicide in Wyoming and the possible effects of potential preventive strategies. Additionally the predisposing reinforcing and enabling factors of the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model can be essential in the development of an understanding of the contributing factors and the possible contributors.
