520			_aThis thesis addresses the major stressors and additional pressures that have been linked to suicide for young Samoan people in the Pacific Islands and for those young Samoan people in expatriate communities in New Zealand. The author examines the research on the suicide phenomenon in Samoa and provides insights from other Pacific groups (such as Micronesia, Fiji and Tonga), while also exploring the continuum of sources of stress/pressures for Samoans living in urban centres in New Zealand. The research population of this study comprised of 76 male and female New Zealand-born Samoans, aged between 16 - 25 and living in Auckland, New Zealand in July - August 2002. The participants answered a questionnaire which identified a list of 52 items that create stress/pressure on them. The stressors were applicable to the participants in varying degrees of importance. This thesis provides the variety of reasonings from the data outcomes that centre on issues of family and educational stressors.--AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT
