State Suicide Prevention Planning: A CDC Research Brief

State Suicide Prevention Planning: A CDC Research Brief summarizes the results of a CDC research study conducted to describe the key ingredients of successful state-based suicide prevention planning. The study's major objectives were to document the processes involved in developing state suicide prevention plans and to compile these findings into a template for decision making. The results of this study do not provide a universal blueprint for suicide prevention, but the insights garnered provide states with valuable information for effective planning, implementation, and evaluation.
