Community-Engaged Approaches to Global Suicide Prevention
More than 700,000 people die by suicide each year globally and more than 75% of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries where mental health resources are scarce. This panel will present their diverse perspectives and practical experiences of fostering meaningful community engagement in suicide prevention research specific to intervention selection, development, adaptation, and implementation. We will then engage the audience in a thoughtful discussion on how to best conduct community-partnered research in suicide prevention and other research areas that are highly sensitive in nature. While the panel will center on mental health, the lessons discussed will be broadly applicable to other global health research methods, making this discussion highly relevant for DGHI and the wider global health community.See the DGHI Think Global event page for more details.
