The National Institute of Mental Health and the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention have requested input into the development of a national suicide research agenda. In response, a working group of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry has prepared recommendations to ensure that the suicide prevention dialogue includes older adults, a large and fast-growing population at high risk of suicide. In this Open Forum, the working group describes three methodology roadblocks to research into suicide prevention among elderly persons and three paradigms that might provide directions for future research into suicide prevention strategies for older adults.
美国老年精神病学协会的一个工作组应美国国家心理健康研究所和国家预防自杀联盟的要求，为制定国家自杀研究议程提供了意见。作为回应，该工作组提出了一些建议，以确保预防自杀的对话涵盖老年人，因为老年人是一个人数众多且快速增长、自杀风险很高的群体。在本论坛文章中，工作组描述了研究老年人预防自杀的三个方法学障碍和三个可能为老年预防自杀策略未来研究提供方向的范式。
