What researchers are doing of interest to Media personnel

 
Introduction

Staying abreast of the latest research including current clinical trials can give media personnel the ability to accurately report on suicide using timely and reputable information based on research findings.  

 

Research should be the first area targeted by media personnel for information on suicide and suicide prevention.   Research 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 and report on suicide and suicide prevention, it is essential to update your knowledge with current research information.
