the Public Health Service Act to support the planning, implementation, and

following
AMENDMENTS:
Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:
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 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.
