Pilot Testing Implementation of Suicide Risk Prediction Algorithms to Support Suicide Prevention in Primary Care

Grant Details

Title: Pilot Testing Implementation of Suicide Risk Prediction Algorithms to Support Suicide Prevention in Primary Care

Funder: NIMH

Grant Number: 1R34MH132829-01 

Grant Period: 07/07/2023 – 04/30/2024

Narrative: Suicide is one of the main drivers of increased mortality attributed to “diseases of despair” in the U.S. Suicide risk prediction algorithms have potential to vastly improve identification of individuals at high risk of suicide, but there is very little evidence to guide routine use of this powerful technology in primary care. Project deliverables will include clinical decision support tools designed to support use of suicide risk predictive analytics in primary care, that can be potentially scaled nationwide, and lay a foundation for future evaluation of the effectiveness of implementation for preventing suicide attempts and deaths.
