Suicide is a critical public health problem, resulting in more than 40,000 deaths a year in the United States (U.S.) and 800,000 globally. Provision of mental health services is a key component of a comprehensive population-based approach to prevention. State licensing boards in some U.S. states require mental health practitioners to be trained in suicide risk assessment and management, but such requirements are not uniform. Our case study examined mental health practitioner preparedness to engage in suicide prevention and intervention in Colorado, a state with a high suicide rate, using a survey designed to understand training experiences and perceptions of the acceptability of mandated training. Our findings support efforts to require mental health practitioners be trained to prevent suicide.
自杀是一个严重的公共卫生问题，在美国每年导致4万多人死亡，全球范围内则有80万人死亡。提供心理健康服务是基于人群的综合预防方法的关键组成部分。美国一些州的州执照委员会要求心理健康从业者接受自杀风险评估和管理方面的培训，但此类要求并不统一。我们的案例研究使用一项旨在了解培训经历以及对强制培训可接受性看法的调查，考察了科罗拉多州（一个自杀率很高的州）心理健康从业者在预防和干预自杀方面的准备情况。我们的研究结果支持要求心理健康从业者接受预防自杀培训的努力。
