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/.

There are several factors that can be protective, but is there one that is more effective than others? It would give us an idea of where to start when fostering resilience toward suicide.
There is a misperception that suicide prevention is something that only health professionals can do. But there are things that everyone can do to help prevent suicides, and a dearth of evidence about effective ways to engage the whole community in preventing suicides.
Identify shortcomings in front line staff that deal with suicide so government can put $'s where they can make a difference.
It is so important to have data to support the allocation of resources -i.e. more professionals to be trained, treatment modalities

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.
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
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.
