Area of Science:

  • Clinical Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Bioethics

Background:

  • Research involving human subjects is vital for suicide prevention but presents ethical and practical challenges.
  • Suicide research, particularly with high-risk individuals, raises concerns about participant safety, adverse events, and liability.
  • These complexities often complicate the institutional review board (IRB) evaluation and approval process.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss institutional review board (IRB)-related issues in suicide prevention research.
  • To outline researcher and IRB panel member responsibilities, ethical considerations for suicide risk assessment and management, and informed consent.
  • To provide guidance on preparing study protocols, education, training, and components for IRB applications in suicide-related research.

Main Methods:

  • A review and synthesis of literature concerning ethics in suicide research.
  • Examination of established suicide risk assessment and management protocols and ethical guidelines.

Main Results:

  • Suicide research can be ethically conducted while simultaneously advancing the science of suicide prevention.
  • Ethically informed solutions exist to navigate institutional review board (IRB) challenges in suicide prevention research.

Conclusions:

  • Despite inherent difficulties, suicide prevention research can be managed ethically and effectively.
  • Empirically supported solutions can address challenges encountered during institutional review board (IRB) interactions.
  • Further investigation and refinement of the institutional review board (IRB) approval process for suicide research are warranted.
