Young people at breaking point

Article Abstract:

The UK Samaritans Week 1997 is focusing on depression and the risk of suicide amongst young people. Statistics show that suicide accounts for 20% of deaths in the 15-24 age group. The organization has launched a video on emotional issues, aimed at 10 and 11-year-olds, and a report on its research into attitudes amongst young people. The report indicates trends, including a failure by young people to understand depression, and higher suicide risk levels amongst certain groups, including young Asian women, young people with difficult family lives, and people with a drug or alcohol dependency.

Brief but to the point

Article Abstract:

City General Hospital, Stoke-on-Trent opened a medical assessment unit (MAU) during the 1980s to relieve the pressure on the Accident & Emergency department and to eliminate the need for medical patient transferal between the hospital's two sites. As many as 85 patients are treated daily at the unit, where there are 12 bays with stretcher-trolleys instead of beds. Patients are transferred to wards when necessary as soon as possible.
