Answer to Question 1

A
The interface between mental health care and the environment has become increasingly complex in recent years. It once consisted only of mental health providers and patients, but the interface now includes patients, providers, families, reimbursers and insurers, lawmakers and regulators, and the judiciary; each of these components has its own agenda.

Answer to Question 2

C
Suicide attempts among adolescents most frequently occur in the home. This is possibly because adolescent suicides frequently involve the overdose of medications or the use of guns. Both instruments are often found in the homes of these adolescents, making access easier.
