Most Important Research Question
almost 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.
ATalmost 6 years agoWhat’s the relationship at a population level between macro-economic and social trends and suicide & what’s this mean for policy/programs?
4For Life and Livingalmost 6 years agoCan we design a safe and effective school-based suicide awareness program for youth aged 13-14 years.
The research is mixed about the safety and efficacy of school-based suicide awareness and response programming. While some have researched the cost-effectiveness of school based awareness programs and if these programs were shown to reduce suicide (a difficult measure to obtain) most of these types of programs aim to create awareness about warning signs for suicide and how to respond in a hopeful and helpful way, linking those at risk to trusted resources and supports.

0Anonymoosealmost 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?
0Helpothersalmost 6 years agoIntegrated network between School boards, healthcare, law enforcement and affected families
Is it possible to create an integrated network of support for mental health sufferers and their families through the school systems, healthcare providers and affected families, and how could this be effective in the prevention of suicide from pre-adolescent years to adulthood?

Preferred Communication Methods
almost 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/. For residents of Quebec, call 1 866 APPELLE.
KTCoalmost 6 years agoSummaries of research findings, information sheets, with original research studies well cited. Both online and print materials.
0It'sMyLifealmost 6 years agoEducational material and fact sheets
1HealthForAllalmost 6 years agoPeer-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.
1evainealmost 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.
0Alicealmost 6 years agoAll mediums in easy to comprehend language
It's not the medium that needs to change it's the language so that all walks of life can understand, get rid of the medical language so the 90% of the population can be educated
