Description
This opportunity supports state-level jurisdictions and territories in implementing and evaluating comprehensive suicide prevention programs. The focus is on populations with disproportionately high suicide rates or burdens, such as veterans, rural communities, tribal populations, LGBTQ individuals, and people experiencing homelessness. The program emphasizes a data-driven, multi-sectoral approach, leveraging partnerships and surveillance data to inform, implement, and evaluate evidence-based strategies. The ultimate goal is to achieve a measurable reduction in suicide mortality among selected high-risk groups.
Key activities include:
- Assessing and building partnerships, data capacity, and existing suicide prevention infrastructure.
- Utilizing surveillance data (including syndromic surveillance) to identify contributors to suicide and refine strategies.
- Conducting asset and gap analyses of current suicide prevention programs.
- Selecting and implementing strategies from the CDC Suicide Prevention Resource for Action.
- Ongoing evaluation and quality improvement.
- Disseminating findings to inform programmatic decision-making.
Short-term outcomes (years 2–3) include increased partner engagement and awareness, expanded reach of prevention strategies, and improved use of evaluation findings. Midterm outcomes (years 4–5) focus on improved coordination, sustained infrastructure, and reduced risk factors. The long-term goal is a 5% reduction in suicide mortality among targeted populations.
