Proposed Project
School Associated Violent Death
Surveillance System (0920–0604)—
Reinstatement—National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Division of Violence Prevention
(DVP), National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC)
proposes to maintain a system for the
surveillance of school-associated
homicides and suicides. The system
will rely on existing public records and
interviews with law enforcement
officials and school officials. The
purpose of the system is to (1) estimate
the rate of school-associated violent
death in the United States and (2)
identify common features of schoolassociated violent deaths. The system
will contribute to the understanding of
fatal violence associated with schools,
guide further research in the area, and
help direct ongoing and future
prevention programs.
Violence is the leading cause of death
among young people, and increasingly
recognized as an important public
health and social issue. In 2006, over
3,200 school aged children (5 to 18
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
years old) in the United States died
violent deaths due to suicide, homicide,
and unintentional firearm injuries. The
vast majority of these fatal injuries were
not school associated. However,
whenever a homicide or suicide occurs
in or around school, it becomes a matter
of particularly intense public interest
and concern. NCIPC conducted the first
scientific study of school-associated
violent deaths during the 1992–99
academic years to establish the true
extent of this highly visible problem.
Despite the important role of schools as
a setting for violence research and
prevention interventions, relatively
little scientific or systematic work has
been done to describe the nature and
level of fatal violence associated with
schools. Until NCIPC conducted the first
nationwide investigation of violent
deaths associated with schools, public
health and education officials had to
rely on limited local studies and
estimated numbers to describe the
extent of school-associated violent
death.
The system will draw cases from the
entire United States in attempting to
capture all cases of school-associated
violent deaths that have occurred.
Investigators will review public records
and published press reports concerning
each school-associated violent death.
For each identified case, investigators
will also interview an investigating law
enforcement official (defined as a police
officer, police chief, or district attorney),
and a school official (defined as a school
principal, school superintendent, school
counselor, school teacher, or school
support staff) who are knowledgeable
about the case in question. Researchers
will request information on both the
victim and alleged offender(s)—
including demographic data, their
academic and criminal records, and
their relationship to one another. They
will also collect data on the time and
location of the death; the circumstances,
motive, and method of the fatal injury;
and the security and violence
prevention activities in the school and
community where the death occurred,
before and after the fatal injury event.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time.

Project: Garrett Lee Smith Campus Case
Studies Funded Through the Garrett
Lee Smith Memorial Suicide Prevention
and Early Intervention Programs—New
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health
Services (CMHS) is conducting up to six
campus case studies with Garrett Lee
Smith Memorial (GLS) Suicide
Prevention and Early Intervention
Campus Program grantees. The GLS
Campus Case Studies (CCS) build upon
campuses’ existing local evaluation
being implemented and funded through
the GLS grant program. The goal of the
CCS is to understand how a public
health approach is successfully applied
as a model for campus suicide
prevention efforts, and will explore, in
a systematic manner: The suicide
prevention related infrastructures and
supports (e.g., clinical and non-clinical)
that exist on up to six selected GLSfunded campuses; the various studentlevel factors that are related to suicide
prevention efforts (e.g., protective
factors, coping strategies, social norms,
and facilitators and barriers to student

access and receipt of behavioral
healthcare); campus interdepartmental
collaboration and the relationship
between various efforts to promote
student mental health and wellness; and
the extent to which the campus
infrastructures and supports promote
and address these factors.
The data collected through this
project will contribute to the knowledge
base regarding a successful model for
suicide prevention that integrates
multiple prevention programs targeting
risk and protective behaviors which
place students at risk for a host of
negative mental and physical health
outcomes correlated with suicide,
including violence, stress, untreated
depression and mental illness, and
academic failure. The strategies
targeting various populations on
campus will also be discussed, as well
as the campus policies and procedures
which facilitate campus efforts related
to mental health promotion and crisis
response. The CCS design includes
three data collection strategies: (1) Case
study key informant interviews (CSIs);
(2) focus groups with students, faculty,
and staff; and (3) an Enhanced Module
to the OMB-approved Suicide
Prevention Exposure, Awareness and
Knowledge Survey—Student Version
(OMB No. 0930–0286) administered to a
sample of students. Data collection is
planned to commence in fall 2008. CCS
activities will be implemented on up to
six GLS-funded campuses.
The following describes the specific
data collection activities and the data
collection instruments to be used,
followed by a summary table of the
number of respondents and the
respondent burden:
• Enhanced Module for the SPEAKS.
The Enhanced Module will be added to
the OMB-approved Suicide Prevention
Exposure, Awareness, and Knowledge
Survey (SPEAKS)—Student Version
(OMB No. 0930–0286). The Enhanced
Module examines coping strategies,
help-seeking behaviors, awareness of
available mental health services, and
risk and protective factors across the
student population. Questions include
the availability of resources to provide
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
assistance to those at risk for suicide;
the types of coping strategies they use
when experiencing stress; from whom,
if anyone, they would seek help; if they
have dealt with mental health issues,
sought help, and experienced trauma;
and their use of protective factors. The
Enhanced Module is Web-based and
includes multiple-choice, Likert-scale,
and yes/no questions. The Enhanced
Module includes 16 items and will take
approximately 10 minutes to complete.
The Enhanced Module will be
administered at each campus once in
conjunction with the SPEAKS—Student
Version to a random sample of 200
students.
• Student Focus Group Moderator’s
Guide. This component will assess
student risk and protective factors
related to mental health, help-seeking
behaviors, and knowledge of prevention
activities on campus and their perceived
effectiveness. This will help researchers
more fully understand student-level
factors in relation to population-level
factors addressed by the Enhanced
Module for the SPEAKS. Questions
address stressors that different groups of
students face while in college, barriers
to seeking help, attitudes and stigma
related to seeking help, and the
accessibility of the campus counseling
center. Six of the following seven
groups of students will participate in
focus groups on each campus, as
decided by the campus: (1) First-year
students, (2) athletes, (3) international
students, (4) Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and
Transgender (LGBT) students, (5) Greek
life students, (6) graduate students, and
(7) residential advisors/peer educators.
Recruitment will be conducted by
campus project staff. Focus groups will
include a maximum of 9 students. Thus,
the total number of student focus group
participants will not exceed 324. Groups
will last approximately 90 minutes.
• Faculty/Staff Focus Group
Moderator’s Guide. The faculty and staff
focus groups will assess the campus’
approach to prevention, attitudes and
stigma around student mental health
and wellness on campus, campus
infrastructure supports for students who
need mental health help, and the
