Social workers encounter suicidal clients; however, little is known about social work's empirical knowledge base for suicide assessment and treatment. In the first comprehensive study of social work's contribution to the suicide literature, the authors conducted systematic electronic and manual searches for suicide research published in peer-reviewed journals by social work investigators for the period 1980-2006, with the purpose of ascertaining the state of clinical knowledge related to suicide risk factors and effective treatments. These findings reveal that despite recent increases to the study of suicide by social work researchers, they have contributed limited evidenced-based knowledge in the last twenty-six years on the treatment or prevention of suicide or suicide-related behaviours. The article outlines the risk factors for suicide and discusses the implications for clinical social work practice and research.
社会工作者会接触到有自杀倾向的客户；然而，对于社会工作在自杀评估和治疗方面的实证知识库却知之甚少。在第一项关于社会工作对自杀文献贡献的综合研究中，作者对1980年至2006年期间社会工作研究者在同行评审期刊上发表的自杀研究进行了系统的电子和人工检索，目的是确定与自杀风险因素和有效治疗相关的临床知识状况。这些研究结果表明，尽管最近社会工作研究者对自杀的研究有所增加，但在过去26年里，他们在自杀或自杀相关行为的治疗或预防方面所贡献的循证知识有限。本文概述了自杀的风险因素，并讨论了对临床社会工作实践和研究的启示。
