Research Study

We will use population-based data from seven large health systems to develop an evidence-based risk calculator for mental health and primary care clinicians. In order to address the gaps in evidence described above, we will expand current MHRN work on prediction of suicide risk by (1) expansion to a larger and more diverse sample, (2) Inclusion of encounters with “missing” risk assessments, (3) Examination of specific psychiatric and substance use diagnoses, and (4) applying analytic methods to account for potential biases due to patient- and provider-driven timing of assessments.
