  • Public Health
  • Mental Health Research
  • Program Evaluation

Background:

  • Suicide remains a significant public health issue in the United States.
  • Numerous suicide prevention programs exist, but many lack evaluated effectiveness due to insufficient rigorous methods.
  • The need for evidence-based interventions is critical.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the process and outcomes of the initial Evidence-Based Practices Project (EBPP) for suicide prevention.
  • To contextualize the EBPP within the broader evidence-based movement.
  • To introduce the EBPP's development of a best practice registry for suicide prevention.

Main Methods:

  • The study describes the establishment and initial activities of the EBPP.
  • It reviews the methodology used to identify and promote evidence-based suicide prevention programs.
