Staying
abreast of the latest research including current clinical
trials can give adults additional suicide prevention resources
and increasingly accurate information on suicide.
While
research is often not the first area targeted by adults, it
can be an invaluable tool providing both cutting edge and
current information and the ability to advocate for new and
innovative research in the areas of suicide and suicide prevention.
New research is published
every year, month, and nearly every day. Consequently,
what we know about suicide and suicide prevention constantly
evolves and changes. In order to best understand suicide
and suicide prevention, it is essential to update your knowledge
with current research information.
