                                 A BILL


 
    To amend the Public Health Service Act to support the planning, 
   implementation, and evaluation of organized activities involving 
 statewide youth suicide early intervention and prevention strategies, 
   to provide funds for campus mental and behavioral health service 
                    centers, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) More children and young adults die from suicide each 
        year than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, 
        stroke, and chronic lung disease combined.
            (2) Over 4,000 children and young adults tragically take 
        their lives every year, making suicide the third overall cause 
        of death between the ages of 10 and 24. According to the 
        Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suicide is the third 
        overall cause of death among college-age students.
            (3) According to the National Center for Injury Prevention 
        and Control of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 
        children and young adults accounted for 15 percent of all 
        suicides completed in 2000.
            (4) From 1952 to 1995, the rate of suicide in children and 
        young adults has tripled.
            (5) From 1980 to 1997, the rate of suicide among young 
        adults ages 15 to 19 increased 11 percent.
            (6) From 1980 to 1997, the rate of suicide among children 
        ages 10 to 14 increased 109 percent.
            (7) According to the National Center of Health Statistics, 
        suicide rates among Native Americans range from 1.5 to 3 times 
        the national average for other groups, with young people ages 
        15 to 34 making up 64 percent of all suicides.
            (8) Congress has recognized that youth suicide is a public 
        health tragedy linked to underlying mental health problems and 
        that youth suicide early intervention and prevention activities 
        are national priorities.
            (9) Youth suicide early intervention and prevention have 
        been listed as urgent public health priorities by the 
        President's New Freedom Commission in Mental Health (2002), the 
        Institute of Medicine's Reducing Suicide: A National Imperative 
        (2002), the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention: Goals and 
        Objectives for Action (2001), and the Surgeon General's Call to 
        Action To Prevent Suicide (1999).
            (10) Many States have already developed comprehensive 
        Statewide youth suicide early intervention and prevention 
        strategies that seek to provide effective early intervention 
        and prevention services.
            (11) In a recent report, a startling 85 percent of college 
        counseling centers revealed an increase in the number of 
        students they see with psychological problems. Furthermore, the 
        American College Health Association found that 61 percent of 
        college students reported feeling hopeless, 45 percent said 
        they felt so depressed they could barely function, and 9 
        percent felt suicidal.
            (12) There is clear evidence of an increased incidence of 
        depression among college students. According to a survey 
        described in the Chronicle of Higher Education (February 1, 
        2002), depression among freshmen has nearly doubled (from 8.2 
        percent to 16.3 percent). Without treatment, researchers 
        recently noted that ``depressed adolescents are at risk for 
        school failure, social isolation, promiscuity, self medication 
        with drugs and alcohol, and suicide--now the third leading 
        cause of death among 10-24 year olds.''.
            (13) Researchers who conducted the study ``Changes in 
        Counseling Center Client Problems Across 13 Years'' (1989-2001) 
        at Kansas State University stated that ``students are 
        experiencing more stress, more anxiety, more depression than 
        they were a decade ago.'' (The Chronicle of Higher Education, 
        February 14, 2003).
            (14) According to the 2001 National Household Survey on 
        Drug Abuse, 20 percent of full-time undergraduate college 
        students use illicit drugs.
            (15) The 2001 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse also 
        reported that 18.4 percent of adults aged 18 to 24 are 
        dependent on or abusing illicit drugs or alcohol. In addition, 
        the study found that ``serious mental illness is highly 
        correlated with substance dependence or abuse. Among adults 
        with serious mental illness in 2001, 20.3 percent were 
        dependent on or abused alcohol or illicit drugs, while the rate 
        among adults without serious mental illness was only 6.3 
        percent.''.
            (16) A 2003 Gallagher's Survey of Counseling Center 
        Directors found that 81 percent were concerned about the 
        increasing number of students with more serious psychological 
        problems, 67 percent reported a need for more psychiatric 
        services, and 63 percent reported problems with growing demand 
        for services without an appropriate increase in resources.
            (17) The International Association of Counseling Services 
        accreditation standards recommend 1 counselor per 1,000 to 
        1,500 students. According to the 2003 Gallagher's Survey of 
        Counseling Center Directors, the ratio of counselors to 
        students is as high as 1 counselor per 2,400 students at 
        institutions of higher education with more than 15,000 
        students.
