Improving pediatric suicide prevention in primary care settings
Practice Facilitation to Enhance Implementation of a Pediatric Suicide Prevention Care Pathway
This study is all about helping doctors and healthcare providers learn how to better support young people who might be at risk of suicide, so they can spot the signs early and provide the right care.

What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the implementation of a care pathway designed to prevent suicide among youth by training primary care providers (PCPs). It aims to equip these providers with the necessary skills and support to effectively identify and manage at-risk patients. The approach includes practice facilitation, which involves ongoing feedback and assistance to ensure that the care pathway is integrated into routine clinical practice. By utilizing a structured framework, the project seeks to improve the overall effectiveness of suicide prevention efforts in primary care settings.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are youth who are at risk for suicide and are receiving care in primary care settings.
Not a fit: Patients who are not receiving care in primary care settings or who do not have identifiable risk factors for suicide may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better identification and management of youth at risk for suicide, ultimately saving lives.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that practice facilitation can improve the implementation of clinical pathways in various healthcare settings, suggesting potential success for this approach.
