Most Important Research Question
about 5 years agoCLOSED: This brainstormer has concluded.Based on your personal and/or professional experience, what would be the most important question related to suicide that could be answered through research?
Click on the “Add your idea” button below to enter your idea.
A research question is an answerable inquiry into a specific concern or issue. It is the initial step in a research project, and should be clear and focused.
Please note that the responses to this question will not be closely monitored. If you are currently experiencing distressing thoughts or thoughts of suicide and need immediate assistance, please find information for help here: http://www.crisisservicescanada.ca/. For residents of Quebec, call 1 866 APPELLE.
montreal123about 6 years agoHow do interventions on upstream determinants of health affect suicide rates?
The preponderance of suicide prevention interventions are focussed on individuals, or at time, communities. Few studies examine the impact of interventions on upstream determinants of health on suicide rates. Given that suicide is socially patterned, are there effective upstream interventions that many have a great impact on suicide due to their greater reach?
0HeatherStuartabout 6 years agoResearch the incidence of suicide in post-secondary students across Canada
Currently, there is no way to know how many post-secondary students suicide; yet this is a growing concern for post-secondary institutions, parents, and the broader health community.
0Bearabout 6 years agoWhat initiatives have been taken within First Nation communities towards suicide prevention, other than mainstream prevention?
Have communities themselves been empowered to address suicide within their communities? If so? How?
1dlongabout 6 years agoWhy are the number of male suicides highest between the ages of 45-59?
Male mid-life can be deadly
4Anonymooseabout 6 years agoDoes injury prevention belong in the suicide prevention conversation?
~90% of completed suicides have an underlying mental health component. Suicide, therefore, is predominantly a mental health/psychosocial issue. Suicide is only injurious if it is incomplete and, in such cases, the subsequent physical injury is typically the least concerning issue. A completed suicide is coded as a death. One can not simply put a helmet on suicide. Is it not then patronizing to suicidic individuals to reduce their condition to merely a preventable injury?

Preferred Communication Methods
about 5 years agoCLOSED: This brainstormer has concluded.Which methods do you prefer to receive information on research findings?
Click on the “Add your idea” button below to enter your idea.
Examples:
- Peer-reviewed journal article
- Roundtable discussions
- Meetings/webinars/workshops/presentations at conferences and forums
- Educational materials and outreach such as paper web based document (examples: fact sheets, summary of findings)
Please note that the responses to this question will not be closely monitored. If you are currently experiencing distressing thoughts or thoughts of suicide and need immediate assistance, please find information for help here: http://www.crisisservicescanada.ca/.

evaineabout 6 years agoOne page, easy to read summary of research findings and impact on practice and/or behaviour
Traditional means of communication are great if you know how to access them and have the time to do so. Front-line practitioners and members of the public are usually lacking at least one of these requirements. Make it simple, in language that someone outside of health care can understand.
0ademmerabout 6 years agoAccessible documents that allow for various populations to access research findings and implement their suggestions
There is always a gap in time between the creation of knowledge and the implementation of that knowledge. This gap may be in part due to the difficulty of access to research findings by those outside of academic circles. Relevant research findings should not be available only to those with paid access to peer-reviewed journal articles or the ability to attend conferences. A knowledge transfer plan for suicide research findings should include free public access to information in various forms, such as online materials and print materials in accessible language. By working together to close the knowledge transfer gap, we can quicken the uptake of new, evidence-based practices, and overall improve the ability of communities at large to strengthen suicide prevention efforts.
