全国预防自杀生命线于2005年1月启动。“生命线”由美国药物滥用和精神健康服务管理局的联邦拨款支持，由遍布全国各地的120多个危机中心组成，这些中心致力于预防自杀。生命线的认证和培训小组委员会对研究和实地实践进行了广泛的审查，得出了生命线的自杀风险评估标准。本文的作者提供了需要这些标准的背景；描述产生它们的过程；总结支持这些标准的研究和理由；检讨这些标准评估原则及其子组件如何相互加权，以便有效地指导危机热线工作人员对生命线来电者进行日常评估；并讨论将由生命线提供的实施过程。
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline was launched in January 2005. Lifeline, supported by a federal grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, consists of a network of more than 120 crisis centers located in communities across the country that are committed to suicide prevention. Lifeline's Certification and Training Subcommittee conducted an extensive review of research and field practices that yielded the Lifeline's Suicide Risk Assessment Standards. The authors of the current paper provide the background on the need for these standards; describe the process that produced them; summarize the research and rationale supporting the standards; review how these standard assessment principles and their subcomponents can be weighted in relation to one another so as to effectively guide crisis hotline workers in their everyday assessments of callers to Lifeline; and discuss the implementation process that will be provided by Lifeline.
