Improving the evidence base for suicide prevention initiatives

自杀的负担仍然存在，部分原因是我们不知道什么在自杀预防中起作用，什么不起作用。相对较少的研究工作被投入到能够告诉我们如何最好地引导资源的研究上。研究人员和决策者之间的脱节加剧了这个问题。通过这一奖学金，简·皮尔基斯将开发和实施一个与决策者合作的模式，以产生最好的证据，作为自杀预防政策的基础。

The burden of suicide persists partly because we don’t know what works and what doesn’t work in suicide prevention. Relatively little research effort has been invested in studies that can tell us how best to direct resources. The problem is compounded by a disconnect between researchers and decision-makers. Through this Fellowship, Jane Pirkis will develop and implement a model for working with decision-makers to generate the best possible evidence upon which to base suicide prevention policy.
