MSU Course: Suicidal Behavior Across the Lifespan Dr. Nadorff first offered his suicide class at Mississippi State University during the Summer 2014 semester.  We are offering the materials for the course, including the video lectures, free of charge.  Thus, please feel free to use any of these materials.  The tests that were used are available from Dr. Nadorff, but are not posted on the site due to test security concerns.  You may contact Dr. Nadorff to acquire the exams at mnadorff@psychology.msstate.edu.
