Description
Summary:Suicide continues to be a serious public health problem. In response to this problem, a myriad of suicide prevention programs have been developed and employed across the United States. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of many of these programs is unknown because they have not been evaluated using rigorous methods. The Evidence‐Based Practices Project (EBPP) for suicide prevention was created in 2002 to identify and promote evidence‐based suicide prevention programs. In this paper the process and outcomes of the initial EBPP project within the context of the broader evidence‐based movement are described, and the EBPPs creation of a best practice registry for suicide prevention is previewed.
