Description

NCIPC’s Comprehensive Suicide Prevention (CSP) supports implementation and evaluation of a comprehensive public health approach to suicide prevention. Nine recipients provide strong leadership as the convener of multi-sectoral partnerships; prioritizes data to identify vulnerable populations and to better characterize risk factors (e.g., relationship, job/financial, mental health problems) and protective factors (e.g. connectedness, hope, resilience) impacting suicide; leverages current prevention practices and fills gaps by selecting multiple and complementary strategies with the best available evidence using CDC's Preventing Suicide: A Technical Package of Policy, Programs, and Practices; rigorously evaluates the overall approach and individual activities; feeds data back into the system for quality improvement and sustainability; and effectively communicates results.

Goals/Purpose

The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to implement and evaluate this comprehensive approach to suicide prevention, with attention to vulnerable populations (e.g., veterans, tribal populations, rural communities, LGBTQ, homeless, other) that account for a significant proportion of the suicide burden and have suicide rates greater than the general population in a jurisdiction(s) (e.g., state, city/county, tribe). Key outcomes include a 10% reduction in suicide morbidity and mortality in the jurisdiction(s). Methods for data collection from the nine recipients include a partner’s portal reporting platform for performance, monitoring, and evaluation data collection as well as reporting morbidity and mortality data to measure impact on the 10% reduction mentioned previously.

Objective

Measurable outcomes are essential for determining the extent to which strategies and activities have reduced suicide morbidity and mortality in vulnerable populations. Comprehensive Suicide Prevention recipients will develop and implement a comprehensive suicide prevention plan and measure both process measures associated with implementation of selected strategies as well as their impact over the 5-year project period on longer term behavior and risk and protective factor outcomes associated with the identified vulnerable population. Recipients will also be required to measure the long-term impact of the comprehensive approach on morbidity and mortality outcomes.
