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/.

Are suicide prevention strategies more effective when they take gender into account?
Given that the contributing factors, the overall numbers and the rates of suicide differ in each gender category, it would seem to make sense that prevention strategies should take gender into account.

Accessible 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.

Summaries of research findings, information sheets, with original research studies well cited. Both online and print materials.

Peer-reviewed publications of research studies and systematic reviews
These are NOT the most accessible nor quickest means of obtaining information. However, if one has a high stake in a topic (e.g., because one is personally or professionally invovled with the topic) and one doesn't want to rely on someone else's summary of the research, one really has to plow into the primary literature.
