Inside the Research

Primary care providers frequently have contact with people prior to them dying by suicide. A key opportunity for suicide prevention is to optimize care delivered in primary care settings. This study builds upon prior work on an innovative program for providers that builds their patient-centered suicide prevention skills utilizing a structured measurement tool and guided feedback. This study assesses the feasibility and acceptability of an online educational module for clinicians and examines the relationship between skill ratings on the tool and patient outcomes.
