Inside the Research

Question: What can we learn about suicide among youth from their health care just prior to their suicide?

Strategy: Link National Death Index and Medicaid databases to examine health and mental health service utilization patterns prior to suicide for children and adolescents.

Impact: Better follow-up care for youth at risk for suicide.
