Introduction

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.
