Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Pediatric populations and their communities affected by suicide risk, including youth at risk and families in need of prevention resources.
✕Less likely to help
Some communities may see slower uptake or limited impact if interventions do not fit local contexts.
What this research studies
This grant brings together experts from multiple disciplines to tackle how we design studies, use data, and implement digital tools to prevent youth suicide. It emphasizes scalable interventions, rapid dissemination of effective practices, and continuous improvement in real-world settings. The work will integrate patient and community data, including geospatial factors, to tailor prevention efforts.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, it could lead to more effective, widely available methods to prevent youth suicide.
How similar studies have gone: Prior efforts show promise when combining design rigor with real-world implementation, but scalable, population-wide success remains ongoing.
