Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) seeks investigator-initiated research evaluating primary prevention approaches to reduce suicide and interpersonal violence among youth and young adults ages 10–24. The program supports evaluation of existing programs, policies, or practices rather than approaches that still need to be developed.
Research may address suicide-related outcomes through stronger community-level social connectedness and social cohesion, or examine ways to reduce the effects of unhealthy online behaviors and experiences on suicide-related outcomes. Another focus is reducing the incidence or harm of technology-facilitated interpersonal violence.
